Donner

Donner is a basic wardrobe piece that looks good on everyone and will never go out of style (hey, you put a lot of work into your knits,they should be something that you use and love). It’s designed with luxe Quince & Co Sparrow, but you can also use Louet Euroflax Sport that has a bit more textural interest, or silky (and budget conscious) Cascade Ultra Pima.

Keep in mind, plant fibres like linen have a lot of stretch and drape, you might want to consider making a size smaller than normal.
