SARAH HATTON'S latest cabled design is both warm and beautiful, and will make a lovely addition to your winter wardrobe. The patterning on the body and sleeves features twisted ribbing and elegant OXO-style cables; the twisted rib pattern is also used for the high collar. The fabric is incredibly soft, thanks to the use of UK Alpaca's lovely Superfine Alpaca Chunky yarn.
