Hand-Knit Donncha Crew Sweater
This sweater is knitted in Donegal, a picturesque county in the North West of Ireland. It is designed exclusively for Blarney Woollen Mills and is inspired by maritime life. The wool is sourced locally with a slightly more rugged feel than merino wool.
The sweater itself is chunky, made to survive life on the Atlantic ocean with stitches evoking a bygone age. On average, it takes one of our knitters 40 to 50 hours to complete a sweater.
- 100% pure new wool
- Color: natural
- Handmade in Donegal, Ireland
- Includes a signed card from the knitter
- Model is wearing size medium
A very good hint when caring for your sweater to freshen it up is to:
- Put the sweater into the tumble dryer DRY then soak a hand towel
- Wring out the excess water so that none is dripping, put it in the tumbler dryer with the sweater
- Turn on to HIGH HEAT for 20 or 30 minutes
The steam coming from the towel will give the sweater a "steam clean" and freshen it. When you take it out of the tumble dryer pull it into shape and leave it sitting until it is cold.
Note - if there are stains on the sweater you will need to treat these first - do not rub the wool as it will felt when rubbed while damp.
If you send the sweater to the dry cleaners please pin a note on saying DO NOT PRESS as pressing will take all of the bounce out of the wool
On a recent trip to Ireland, I bought a hand-knitted sweater for myself I wear it constantly when the weather is cool and it is warm and soft and beautiful. My husband regretted not getting one for himself, so I ordered this one. Absolutely gorgeous and, while not cheap, is worth every penny. You can see the quality in it.
JeanI recommend this sweater more than anything. The price is very steep, but if you want the highest quality out there this sweater is for you. This is not a machine made cheap sweater. You can see every detail in the quality and craftsmanship of this product. It is very warm and very comfortable. It runs a little on the large side but I think the sweater is meant to be roomy, warm, and comfortable. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I am ordering another in charcoal gray as soon as possible. Highly recommended top quality product.
