This raglan pullover is created with two things on mind: plant dyed healing yarns and high-waisted jeans or skirts 🙂
It is cozy, warm and very feminine and above all, it stands upon the ayurvedic principle, that plantdyed yarns can work somewhat like homeopathic medicine - the power of plants that dyed the fibers, was believed to have positive effect on the person wearing the garment :-)
It is knitted top down, with sharp neckline rib continuing deep into sleeves and then flaring out into puffed lower sleeves and getting back to the slender rib at the wrists. Body is simple and smooth, with comfy 5 cm ease, shorter and ending with wide, hip-hugging rib.
Vajana [Vaiana] is the name of slavic fires, lit on the day of summer solstice (St.Johns night). Traditionally on this night, certain healing herbs were picked, because it was believed they contain the most of their healing power at the peak of summer.
Sizes: S (M, L, XL)
