McClave

McClave is a classic, raglan pullover, knitted from the top down. It’s truly a timeless piece, a sweater you almost always feel like wearing. You’ll rarely find it folded and put away. Instead, it lives draped over a chair back or tossed on top of the dresser. Worked in softest Delaine Merino, it feels great next to your skin. We love the peppy stripes Ann Budd added to the yoke. And Delaine Merino’s many colors give you lots of color options—spritely crisp, or soft and subtle.
