Tradition, with a twist.
The Hybrid Isle Pullover brings together two beloved knitting traditions: cables and Fair Isle. Knit from the bottom up, the pullover pairs two of our wool/alpaca blends, Hawk and Plover. Hawk forms the classic cables that cascade down the body and sleeves, while Plover creates the generous Fair Isle yoke and bands of colorwork at the cuffs and hem.
The two yarns are natural companions. Hawk gives the cables depth and definition, while Plover lends a soft, gently fuzzy character to the colorwork.
It feels distinctive yet nostalgic, like a sweater you’ve somehow known forever.
