1980s Cropped Rainbow Mohair Sweater

A charming and playful hand-knitted mohair jumper from the 1980s, featuring softly cropped proportions and a playful, tactile texture. The cream-toned base is interwoven with multicoloured tufts of yarn in rust, blue, and plum — almost like tiny embedded pom-poms within the knit — giving it a rich, three-dimensional surface. Light, warm, and beautifully airy, it captures the spontaneous creativity of 1980s artisan knitwear.

Styling
Perfect with high-waisted jeans, corduroy, or over a printed dress for a relaxed, textural winter look. The cropped cut balances beautifully with wide trousers or layered silhouettes.

Condition
Good vintage condition overall. There is one small hole beneath the arm, most likely from where the hand-knit was finished and the yarn tied off — a common feature of handmade pieces and reflected in the price. Otherwise clean and well preserved.

Measurements. Comfortably fits a S-M, depending on desired fit.
