John Smedley Wool Cable-Knit Orpin Sweater

The Orpin sweater demonstrates John Smedley's capacity to reinterpret traditional Aran and maritime knitting traditions through a lens of clean, contemporary minimalism. Rather than presenting the heavy, rustic and often bulky silhouette historically linked to cable-knit fisherman sweaters, the Derbyshire manufacturer scales down the pattern into a low-profile, fine-gauge layout.
