[tab1: With soft, floaty sleeves and unusual draping neckline, With The New Cowl Neck-Line is the perfect garment for easy summer style with wide-legged linen trousers or for dressing up at any time of year to wear on an evening out. With The New Cowl Neck-Line has a shaped lower body followed by an unusually shaped front neck created with yarn-overs at the centre front of the garment. Saddle shoulders add further interest before fluted sleeves are knitted downwards from the body. A deep waistband designed to sit on the waist finishes the look - this extends to one side and is tied in a bow.

With The New Cowl Neck-Line is knitted using [link: Susan Crawford Marilyn = /collections/marilyn :link], a merino-silk laceweight blend with a subtle sheen and beautiful drape, hand-dyed in-house by Susan and her team. Shown here in shade [productlink: Casablanca = marilyn-casablanca :productlink].
