A knitted sweater once owned by Princess Diana has sold at auction in New York for $1.1 million.

The red woollen jumper is covered by white sheep, with one exception: there's also a single BLACK sheep.

The auctioneers, Sotheby's, had estimated the value at fifty to ninety thousand dollars.

Joanna Osborne is one of the original designers of the jumper -- and it was she who found it.

She's been speaking to Newshour's Tim Franks.
