Hand knitted sweater in gorse yellow aran British Bluefaced Leicester and Shetland lambswool, cable raglan long sleeves. Lightly felted for warmth. Slow textiles.

Hand knitted sweater made entirely by hand. Gorse yellow Bluefaced Leicester and Shetland aran lambswool. British wool breeds.

Deep roll collar, long raglan sleeves with cable detail. Double rib cuffs and slit hems. Lightly felted to close up the fibres and make the sweater warmer.

I am knitting this sweater in other beautiful British breed lambswools, dyed and undyed as the sheep intended.

Being hand knitted with needles, artisan handmade, there are slubs and irregularities which add to the unique quality. Some pilling is to be expected as this is pure lambswool.

Measurements : Small

Bust/chest, from armpit to armpit : 18.5 inches

Bluefaced Leicester lambswool undyed natural ecru cream hand knitted in my studio overlooking the wilds of Dartmoor.

Slow contemporary artisan textiles. Biodegradable, sustainable and no waste.

Inspired by endless horizons across the wild moor, river and the open sea.... handspun, handknitted and handwoven pieces evoke the changing colours and moods of ancient Dartmoor.

Made by hand and designed to last.

Washing instructions :

Hand wash separately in hand hot water and gentle soap or non rinse wool wash, without agitation to avoid shrinkage and felting. Leave to soak then gently squeeze and lift out. Rinse gently in similar temperature hand hot water to avoid shocking the wool, from hot to cold. Roll in a towel to remove excess water and dry flat or hang over a rail away from direct heat.
