Wheat Fields Jumper

On even the chilliest of days, little ones can enjoy the fresh air feeling cosy and warm in the Wheat Fields Jumper. Knitted with Scheepjes Metropolis, this machine-washable blend of 75% Extra Fine Merino Wool and 25% Nylon creates durable, lightweight garments that are exceptionally soft against the skin. Designer Irene has added a joyful touch to this simply shaped garment by embroidering stems of wheat in vibrant shades of Scheepjes Softfun. The brightly coloured kernels, made with lazy daisy stitches, provide a delightful contrast to the lightly heathered tones of Metropolis.
