In 1836 Michael Faraday realized that if he enclosed a grounded room in metal, electrical charges would only touch the outside --leaving the inside untouched by the charge. This sweater is named for the inventor of this hollow conductor which still used by scientists today. This piece is inspired by Michael Faraday, and his contributions to the scientific community.

This garment is worked with 5” of negative ease, top-down, and in one piece with superwash merino and stainless steel wool.
