What is a cable knit jumper?
A cable knit jumper is a timeless piece of knitwear characterised by its distinctive, textured patterns that resemble twisted or braided cables.
Originating from traditional Aran sweaters, these jumpers are crafted using a special knitting technique that creates raised, intricate designs that not only provide visual appeal but also enhance warmth and durability.
Ideal for cooler climates, cable knit jumpers blend classic charm with practical function, making them a staple in many wardrobes. Whether dressed up or down, they offer both comfort and style
What is the difference between a cable knit and a fisherman knit?
Cable knit and fisherman knit refer to two distinct sweater styles. A cable knit features intricate, twisted patterns resembling braided cables, adding texture and decoration.
In contrast, a fisherman knit incorporates a variety of textured stitches, including cables, but typically the overall weave is tighter and more uniform.
While both provide warmth and style, cable knits focus on decorative elements, whereas fisherman knits highlight durability and functionality, reflecting their maritime origins.
