The deep mauve shade gives this Fisherman Out of Ireland cardigan a rich, feminine look. The muted purple with its soft pink undertone feels refined without becoming overly traditional, while the small coloured flecks in the wool give the knit a beautifully lively character.

The elegant V-neck leaves room for your favourite blouse or top and creates a flattering open line. Wear the cardigan fully buttoned with jeans for a relaxed combination, leave a few buttons open for a looser look or wear it as a warm layer over a dress.

Refined cable details are worked into the knit at the shoulders. They follow the raglan line and give the cardigan a subtle decorative accent. Ribbed finishes at the cuffs and hem, together with the substantial buttons at the front, complete its polished, artisanal appearance.

Up close, you will discover pink, purple and other small touches of colour in the wool. These flecks are characteristic of the Donegal look, named after County Donegal in Ireland. This traditional style is known for its tweed-like appearance, with small coloured fibres adding extra depth and an ever-changing play of colour to the knit.

The cardigan is made from 100% merino wool. This natural wool feels pleasantly soft, provides wonderful warmth and is comfortable to wear without feeling heavy. The merino wool is also mulesing-free. Mulesing is a procedure in which skin is removed from around a sheep’s hindquarters to help prevent problems caused by fly larvae. Mulesing-free wool comes from sheep that have not undergone this procedure, making it a more animal-friendly choice.

Combine the deep mauve with denim and soft pink for a playful tonal look, with cream for a softer combination or with dark blue and purple for more depth. This distinctive purple shade can be styled differently time and again.
