German term or phrase: Schön fallende (rendering question)
Fashion: "Schön fallende reine Merinowolle für gewirkte, doppellagige Modelle". How can I turn our "schön fallende" in KNITS? (I don't suppose "draped" does the trick.) Also, what exactly is meant by "doppellagig"? I don't know knitting.

Explanation:
I know it's not a direct translation, but I don't think you will find one that sounds right. Could you work something around 'the flattering lines of pure merino wool' or something similar.

Just an idea - see if it works for you!

Regards

Mary
