Hand knit Aran, Guernsays or Icelandic style Lopi ones
Brilliant kit; warm, breathable, hard wearing and very comfortable.
I've just tidied up an Aran that I knitted twenty years ago for HWMBLT and it's still sound, still his favourite jumper. It's blue and over the years the colour has mellowed and softened so much that when I found the little ball I kept for darning to repair a snagged cuff I had to bleach the colour our a bit to make it match
It still looks good
Lopi knits up very quickly indeed, it's not complicated and not beyond any man to manage to do his own
