New from the AVINGTON COLLECTION : Enjoy watching the plaid pattern form as you knit. Start small with the cute beanie (with just the right amount of slouchiness); or on a grand scale with the voluminous, wedge shaped wrap. Choose between monotone or two tone colour schemes.
Highly prized and super soft, Australian Superfine Merino is the ultimate natural fibre. The most amazing secret of all is how it feels against the skin. Silky and smooth, with an unparalleled comfort factor, this wool can be worn directly next to the skin.
Superfine Merino breathes with the body; it warms you up when the temperature drops and helps to cool when you feel hot.
