The first of the fall sweaters arrived at the ASW store this week, including the merino wool and cashmere Fair Isle sleeveless pullover in the photo. Half a dozen button fronts and pullovers by Ireland's Inis Meáin Knitting Company are on the shelves and a cashmere cabled crewneck by Luciano Barbera will follow in a day or two.
The Fair Isle is a perfect weight to wear over a shirt for golf or other outdoor activities, or under an odd jacket. The other Inis Meáin models include a mid-gray linen crewneck, and four other merino and cashmere numbers: a shawl collared jacket in a gray Donegal tweed flecked with brown, a light-weight cream-colored v-neck pullover jersey with wonderful detailing, a cardigan woven in shades of blue and blue/gray tweed, and a heavy brown shawl-collared Aran-style pullover.
Beautiful stuff. Check it out in the New Arrivals section of the store. I should have more photos and measurements posted by the end of the day.

To be honest Will I was a bit disappointed in the fair isle pullover. It's very nice but I was expecting a more conventional elaborate pattern.
Every year it is a diffferent offering Joe.
I shall have to search elsewhere then. Funnily enough BB had some great ones last year but not many and they quickly sold out. I've tried to buy one direct from your Irish vendor but they don't seem to have a mechanism for buying them and ignored my emails. Well it is Ireland I suppose.
