Have you ever paused to observe the intricate patterns etched in the sand by a receding wave? They’re like flowing, watery diamonds, akin to the mesmerizing cables that meander across the entire fabric of the Shoal Pullover. This garment is an ode to warmth, and a tribute to the liquid embrace of the sea.

The dense, rich fabric of the Shoal Pullover is brought to life by these all-over cables, weaving a narrative of comfort and snugness. The twists and turns of these stitches, combined with the soft, woolly essence of Herlig, give birth to a garment that embodies the
seaside. It’s a piece that seamlessly blends rugged and rustic charm with a lightness that makes it a breeze to wear. The Shoal Pullover is not just a sweater; it’s a tactile reminder of the serene beauty of coastal waves and the warmth they leave behind.
