Zoe Fair Isle Sweater

While a strict traditionalist might argue that true Fair Isle must be knitted by a woman named Agnes on a tiny, wind-battered island in the Shetlands, in the broader lexicon of style, this hits every mark. It features the signature stranded colorwork—bands of geometric motifs stacked like layers of very comfortable sediment.

Crafted from a tactically soft wool blend, it features a substantial navy rib at the collar and cuffs to firmly ground the riot of orange and azure patterned stripes. It is the sort of knit that suggests you own a cabin, or at least a very reliable thermos.
