Faroe Jersey
“The Faroe jersey is closely related in design and construction to the old Icelander… The patterns are small geometric shapes, often worked in narrow bands with ground and pattern colors alternating”…
The yarn -a fairly bulky woolen yarn- was “often felted after knitting, like the earlier garments, to increase resistance to wind and cold”.
