Originally knit as underwear, the sweater is a practical garment with homely beginnings and has evolved as a fashion statement.

Learn about the panoply of yarns, Nordic patterns, buttons, vintage collars, runway designs, manufacturing, and today's explorations of form, structure, and material. No matter how far we have come technologically, there is something fundamental in the art of hand craft.
