KENT'S PICK - INIS MEAIN "PUB CARDIGAN"

Cashmere/wool cardigan - Inis Meain - $845
I'm fascinated by this yarn...in order to create the 'Donegal' feeling of this knit, Inis Meáin had to ply 2 different gauges of yarn together, then knit the combination. The effect is of woven tweed, rustic and three-dimensional. It's a very unusual way to treat navy blue - most of the time navy is mixed with charcoal, and comes out much preppier.  The wool/silk/cotton/cashmere blend is exactly the right weight for fall weather in Seattle.
