The shorter Merino Eve is a sporty cardigan Handknit in Ireland from 100% pure merino wool spun in Donegal with a tweed character (colour sprinkles!). Merino sheep have fine fleece that makes a soft, study and natural stretch yarn. This is a great choice for someone who loves natural fibres that are soft enough for bare skin!  Merino has natural anti-bacterial properties and is even worn by astronauts in recent space missons. Handknit in the trademark stitches of this style group, namely the Donegal Blackberry, wishbone cables and Irish moss. Like the styling of the Merino Eve and the Heritage Eve but with two inches (5 cm) shorter length it is that "over dress" option you need. The five buttons are in actual olive wood from Italy, finished in a walnut tone and stitched on with a colour pop. The rib borders are firm for stretch and last with a cabled detailing throughout. The garment is strongly hand stitched in wool. 100% Handmade and sustainable.
