Donegal Cable Crewneck Sweater in Charcoal

Following close behind tweed, cord and flannel in the fall classics lineup: the cable knit wool sweater. Todd’s given that fairly thick stitch — introduced in Ireland in the early 20th century by fishermen — a modern update. The Donegal merino (“Donegal” refers to a technique where small pieces of yarn in different colors are randomly woven in for a soft, heathered effect) is knit in a clean, scaled-up fishtail cable. If you only get one new sweater, make it this one; with a chic rib-to-roll trim, a classic fit and lots of colors to choose from, it looks great with everything from pleated trousers to denim.
