Marley

We love Forge as a sweater yarn, but we’re particularly partial to it in cabled sweaters. Co-founder Sloane Rosenthal’s Marley pullover uses bold, graphic diagonal cables and a deep V-neck to put a modern, effortlessly wearable spin on the classic cabled pullover. Tailored shoulder and a gentle A-line make for a great fit, while a slightly larger than usual needle choice produces a lighter fabric with easy drape. Stockinette sleeves and back simplify the knitting and keeps the focus on the show stopping front.
