Vintage McCONNELL Woollen Mills Donegal Wool Cable-Knit Turtleneck Ireland M

Description

A beautifully substantial cable-knit turtleneck from McConnell Woollen Mills, the award-winning knitwear house based in County Clare on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. The yarn is 100% pure wool in the Donegal tradition: a heathered grey ground flecked with small bursts of red, blue, and natural white, spun from pure new wool in a method that produces the characteristic speckled texture associated with the finest Irish knit work. The cable pattern is bold and architectural, running in wide interlocking braids across the body and sleeves, with a substantial ribbed turtleneck and fitted ribbed cuffs that anchor the otherwise relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette. This is the kind of piece McConnell built its reputation on: grounded in the geansaí tradition, constructed to last decades, and made entirely in Ireland from 100% natural fibre. Size medium.
