Inspired by her love of Nantucket and all things woven, Rebecca Jusko Peraner discovered her passion for weaving during her studies at Rhode Island School of Design where she majored in Textile Design. After apprenticing under Master Weaver Andy Oates at Nantucket Looms between 1991-1995, Becky settled permanently on the island. She continued to hone her craft by following in the tradition at Nantucket Looms of working with all natural fibers including mohair, alpaca, cotton, cashmere and silk, producing simple but elegant weave structures that can be found in the Looms’ popular throws, scarves and upholstery fabrics.

Designed in the late 1960’s for Nantucket Looms, our classic boatneck sweater never goes out of style. Originally designed to be worn without a shirt underneath, the boatneck can be worn in a more fitted fashion or select the next size up for a looser fit. The saddle stitch shoulders and high boatneck collar are distinctive to this sweater. Unisex sizing.
