This sweater was designed with the shepherd in mind. Its use of cables and its natural color remind one of the shepherd sweaters of the highlands. It marries the classic cabling and texture with the classic argyle pattern to create something entirely new. It sits loose enough for comfort, but also allows you to wear any sort of shirt beneath it. The yarn is entirely natural animal hair with the Alpaca giving it a luxuriant softness, and the wool giving it warmth and structure. The pattern is simple enough for beginners, but intricate enough to keep even hardened veterans delighted until the final end is woven in. It’s definitely more at home in the forests of Arden, but you won’t get banished for wearing it at court.
