“THE ANTIQUE ROSE FAUX SHETLAND SWEATER”

hood4

…………………………….The FAUX SHETLAND SWEATER…..A259108……is returning due to popular demand, and will be avail. this month. I’m not sure when it will be posted, and since I have no more appearances this month you will have to keep checking…….. I am adding a new color……………….ANTIQUE ROSE……….It’s the shade of pink that you would find in dried keepsake flowers, does anyone do that anymore?……….or a winter STRAWBERRY………………This color is meant to flatter!………For those of you who are not familiar with this sweater or yarn….I introduced it last fall for the first time. The yarn has the look of wool Shetland, but there is NO wool in this. The yarn is a blend of 83% acrylic, and 17% nylon which when dyed gives the heather effect…….It has a very soft touch….. Some may think from the photos that this is a heavy dense sweater, but it is not. If anything I would almost call it GOSSAMER, because it is very LIGHT in weight….so be forewarned….this is not a HEAVY BULKY sweater…It is a well know fact that in the winter, to keep warm, it is better to dress in a few light layers than one or two heavy layers……….This sweater has a 92% approval rating…..70 women out of 76 gave it two thumbs up…..that’s pretty good, and  the returns were very low…so the results were good enough for it to be reordered……I would suggest you read the reviews for all of the info you may want to know……Some may call this a “boyfriend” V-neck sweater, but for me that always connotes OVER SIZED…..which this is not….especially if you intend to layer it with a shirt, TN, jewel neck sweater, tee shirt etc……………..Above, I have the Antique Rose sweater over the Pink wing collar shirt and the Aubergine WK skirt…..The Perfectly Pink TN, A72448, would also be the perfect layering piece………For another look wear this sweater with your new PLUM MOTO JACKET, WALNUT  LINEA BODY LEGGINGS or your WALNUT WK SKIRT your WALNUT LINEA TIGHTS…..boots and WOW….that’s a great look for anyone at any age…………….Around her neck and hanging from her ear…..the CHOCOLATE FALLING LEAVES NECKLACE and EARRING…….REMEMBER the CHOCOLATE DEMI HOOP EARRING is a wonderful alternative, especially for those who can not wear a longer earring. The Chocolate really looks wonderful on the Antique Rose………………………………………………………….enjoy……………………………much Love………………………………..Louis

    Louis, the pullover in this lovely new color is loaded in the system. I did my usual and checked the item number before going to bed last night (have been checking the # since you posted this one was coming back) and ordered both colors. I’m so glad these returned. Love this sweater and the cardigans in the same yarn. Both are splendid! If these sell well enough this season, do you think you might present the buyer a heathered greenish color for 2016?

      I would certainly consider it. What color green? My only concern was the green cardigan did the least in sales.

      1. Deborah (a.k.a. Diamondscribe)

        If I recall the cardigan correctly, it was darker – more of a hunter green base. I ordered all the cardigans except that color because I felt it was close enough to one of the other colors in color weight/intensity, only the other was without the green. Plus, I’d just ordered the solid hunter in the signature button cardigan at the time. The low sales for that may have been timing with other similar choices. The green I have dancing in my mind is a lighter willowy green. I’m going to try placing a link here to the color (shown in a menswear tweed jacket). Hope the post takes it: http://www.stephenallenmenswear.co.uk/jackets/image/jacket-cadgwith.jpg

    The antique rose is such a pretty reddish shade. Looking forward to adding it to my other colors in this very comfortable top.

    This is a beautiful and inspiring color. I have this sweater in the Persian Blue and Charcoal. I would really like to have the sleeveless WK mock neck to wear with these in alabaster, ivory, charcoal heather and perfectly pink. Any chance? I have the white and black now.

    1. designista

      I just ordered three more colors. First one is full price with $5 off for each sweater after that.

      Dear Designista…..That sweater didn’t sell all that well so every time I do a version of it…they pass…..I’ll keep trying.
