Children's Merino Nordic Fairisle Sweater

Knitted from merino wool, this children’s Nordic Fairisle sweater brings natural warmth to both everyday wear and family occasions.

With a reassuringly substantial handle, this richly patterned sweater layers comfortably over shirts and tops. Geometric Fairisle bands sweep across the body and sleeves, with a crew neck and ribbed trims keeping the shape neat. The pattern feels suitably seasonal around the Christmas table, but not so Christmassy that the sweater loses its place in the wardrobe once January arrives.

With reindeer, Christmas trees, stars and snowflakes to spot across the pattern, there’s plenty here to delight younger wearers throughout the festive season.

About Merino Wool

Known as the softest of all wools, merino is sourced from merino sheep, a breed which originated in mediaeval Spain. The fineness of wool is measured in microns, with typical thicknesses of 29 to 35 microns. Merino is usually 22 microns thick and can be much finer, explaining its sublimely soft handle. It's also a superb insulator, often used in high-performance layers for outdoor sports.
