Fisherman Out of Ireland: Donegal Fairisle Shawl Collar Cardigan (Earth)
A new design from Fisherman Out of Ireland. This is an amazing fairisle cardigan with shawl collar and side pockets. Knitted in our favourite chunky soft merino donegal yarn it is going to keep you super warm as the fairisle technique forms loops on the reverse making it very thick. It is shorter than the V-neck Slouch Cardi style and is a bit like a boxy jacket in fit.
The donegal tweed yarn is possibly my favourite yarn. It speaks of landscape and environment and I could happily get lost in its depths. The yarn is created from fleece dyed prior to spinning and the ‘neps’ (little sparks of colour) are added during the carding process. The base colour of the yarn is a melange, enlivened with the neps.
A word from the company: Fisherman Out of Ireland was founded by the renowned Blarney Woollen Mills family business in 1991. For 30 years now we have been at the forefront of design led Irish knitwear. From the first stitch to the final press, each piece of our entire collection for men and women is made at our knitting factory in Kilcar, County Donegal, a small Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) village rich in the textile tradition and nestled between the Derryveagh mountains and the wild Atlantic ocean. It is this awe inspiring environment, along with the local fishing communities, which constantly feeds our inspiration when creating new yarns, colours and styles for each new Collection. We might be situated on the edge of Europe in the middle of ‘nowhere’ but our 100% natural fibre, quality, contemporary jumpers are shipped far and wide to the 4 corners of the world.
