This cardigan is handknit in 100% merino wool spun in Donegal with a tweed character (colour sprinkles!). Merino sheep have fine fleece that makes for a soft yet study yarn. This is a great choice for someone who loves natural fibres that are soft enough for bare skin! Merino has more natural stretch and creates a neater contour or fit. Like all wool it inherits natural anti- bacterial properties and is even worn by astronauts in recent space missions . The Heritage Merino Eve is handknit in our trademark stitch designs, namely the Donegal Blackberry, wishbone cables and Irish moss. The five heritage buttons are made at our workshop in a checked fabric by Magee of Donegal. The rib borders are firm for stretch and last with a cabled detailing throughout. The garment is strongly hand stitched in wool. 100 % handmade. Worn here with our handknit cabled KATE hat in light grey tweed Sizes: S-M Chest 39-40in (100-102cm) Length from shoulder 22in (56cm) Sleeve underarm 17in (43cm) M-L Chest 42ins (107cms) Length from shoulder 23in (58cm) Sleeve underarm 17in (43cm) L-XL Chest 44in (112cm) Length from shoulder 23.5in (58cm) Sleeve underarm 18in (46cm) Composition 100% new merino wool dyed and spun in Donegal  Care See 'How to care for me' Lead time Made to order one stitch at a time.
