Icelandic or Shetland wool will be a more durable choice for a sweater than merino. Lopi is your keyword to find Icelandic. One durable brand I can recommend that is fairly easy to find (cheaper used if that is an option!) is Dale of Norway. Another durable choice would be a Cowichan sweater, but sourcing them might be harder outside of their geographic area. (An iconic example of this style is the sweater in The Big Lebowski that "The Dude" wears, but that one is made by Pendleton and is not really as good as the real thing)
