Madoqua, it is the story of an encounter with La Bien Aimée. It is the delight of working with a sublime Worsted base: The Corrie Worsted. When Aimée offered me to work with her yarns, I was both touched and intimidated, and I immediately went on quest for design idea that was me and that also was her.
Madoqua is therefore a slipped rib sweater all over the body, with a special shoulder line. To fit your desires, it offer either a funnel neck or a round neck. The sleeves are in stockinette stitch with a slipped rib shoulder line to match the body. Finally, Madoqua adorns a beautiful gradient thanks to a fade signed LaBienAimée.
