Dolce & G. butterfly montage no. 3 brushed wool knit
contents: 50wool/50poly
width: 54"
origin: Dolce & G./Italy
WOW!! Fresh off the runway from Dolce & G., just in with a high end mill designer lot from Italy, this exquisite brushed wool blend printed knit is cozy and soft with body to the drape. It has about 20% widthwise stretch, and the butterfly and flower montage print (28" repeat) is a signature looks for the current season (hence the price). Colors are soft shades of eucalyptus, apricot, maize, charcoal, rouge, etc. (PANTONE 17-5513, 16-1144, 17-1518, etc.) with a heathered gray knit on the reverse. It's medium weight, not bulky, and the face has a fleecy texture while the reverse has a more smooth, flat knit texture which can definitely be used as contrast for the print. A truly glorious luxury fabric, of the moment, and perfect for a indoor or outdoor cardigan jacket or coat for fall, a fitted sweater dress, tunic or skirt, poncho, etc. Please note that it's not a drapey knit---it has more body and firmness to the drape. Dry cleaning recommended.
