Sweaters needn’t be boring!
Go bold with your knits.
Jacquard is a term originally from weaving. To simplify, it is the combining of two or more colors together by knitting one color either to the front or to the back of the fabric so to create a visual pattern.
Jacquard knit pattern designs are incorporated into the weave. It can be either single or double knit and features a distinct pattern on the face, ranging from intricate designs reminiscent of traditional brocade to simple and understated motifs. Single knit jacquard fabrics include a unique look on the reverse.

Imagination is key to reinvigorating classic patterns such as the Fair Isle or Geo patterns. Enlarging patterns and playful graphics or even utilizing hyper-bright colors could evolve the whole design.
