Comments about Heathered Fair Isle Cardigan:
I LOVE wool sweaters that look handmade. I have quite a collection from National Geographic. This sweater is actually made in Scotland, of Irish Merino wool. This wool is very soft to the touch, and not at all itchy. If it were even slightly itchy, I wouldn't be able to go near it. (sensitive skin) The heathered wool is beautiful, it has little flecks of brightly colored yarn, pink, blue, green, among the muted purple yarn. The yoke and cuffs have a floral-like pattern that are true to an authentic Fair Isle sweater. I bought two, one in small, and one in medium, just incase it shrinks. I CAREFULLY hand wash all my wool sweaters in cold water, no agitation. The wool can tighten up a bit, so far, not enough to make a difference in size. Such a lovely sweater! I would like to see them offered in blue or pink!
