Dark does not have to mean predictable. This Fisherman Out of Ireland cardigan has a very deep midnight-blue base, scattered with tiny flecks of red, pink, green and other shades that appear like little points of light. They give the knit remarkable depth and reveal new colours every time you look at it up close.

The elegant V-neck creates a feminine line and makes the cardigan wonderfully versatile. Wear it buttoned with jeans for a polished yet relaxed look, combine it with a light blouse for extra contrast or wear it open over a dress. The dark base is effortless to style, while the coloured flecks ensure the overall look never feels ordinary.

Refined cable details run along the raglan shoulders. They follow the shoulder line and subtly add extra texture to the knit. The wide ribbed cuffs and hem, together with the dark buttons, complement the deep colour beautifully and emphasise its artisanal character.

The small touches of colour are characteristic of the traditional Donegal look. This Irish knitting style is named after County Donegal and is known for its tweed-like character, with small coloured fibres remaining visible throughout the yarn. Against the deep midnight-blue background, these flecks come beautifully to life.

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 cardigan with denim and white for a fresh contrast, with dark blue for a stylish tonal look, or pick up the red, pink or green flecks in your accessories. Proof that a dark cardigan can be surprisingly colourful.
