The Orla is the Toast idea in one garment: a plain, easy-fitting jumper made interesting by the yarn. The wool is spun in Donegal and carries the coloured flecks, or nepp, that Donegal yarn is known for. The shape is simple, with raglan sleeves, a ribbed neck and hem with rolled edges, and a mid-hip length. It is 100% wool, hand wash only, and made in Romania. The navy averaged 4.8 from 121 reviews when we read it.
The criticisms are worth knowing. Several reviewers found the wool coarse or scratchy, one enough to stop wearing it, and wear a T-shirt underneath. Others found the body short or the A-line shape stiff at the back. One expected it to be knitted in Ireland; only the yarn is. The page warns that soft yarns pill.
