The Charles Pullover is a quintessential classic sweater with a little twist—it features unconventional cables that run up the sleeves into a saddle shoulder. The Fibre Co.’s Arranmore brings complex and appealing visual interest to the stockinette fabric; although it appears to be a traditional Donegal tweed, the fiber blend is so soft that wearing this sweater next to the skin is a must.
