Vintage 1950s Yellow Sweater With White Beading

This buttery yellow wool sweater with beading was knitted in Japan and hand decorated in Hong Kong. It’s 70% lambs wool; 20% rabbit angora; and 10% nylon. The body of the sweater is lined but the sleeves are not (see photos). It has a couple of small holes – one on the top left shoulder, and one on the back just below the left shoulder blade area (see photos). Both would be easily repaired with a needle and thread. It has slight pilling (also easily removed with a clothing shaver), but overall, it is still in great condition, considering its age. The white beading is so pretty and is intact, except for a tiny area on the left sleeve trim, which could easily be re-glued (see photo). None of these imperfections are noticeable when wearing the sweater – but I did want to point them out, so you’re aware. I’ve had this sweater for about 15 years and now it’s time for someone else to enjoy it! All measurements were taken seam to seam, and are given in inches. Doubled where appropriate for circumference (bust and waist). Measure a similar garment you own if you are unsure about fit. Shoulder: 15 ½ inches across Bust: 18 inches across Length from top to bottom: 20 ½ inches Sleeve length from shoulder seam to end of sleeve: 19 ½ inches Sleeve inseam from armpit to end of sleeve: 13 ½ inches Tag: Lotus Export Enterprises
