Aretha Stripe Tunic - Plum/Blossom

This 3/4 sleeve sweater, the Aretha Stripe Tunic from Orkney Hand Knits, is ideal for an extra layer and is perfect all year round. One size fits all - it is a shorter length top, with a dropped shoulder boxy style, with a striped panel on the front, contrasting cuffs and inner back hem. Made with a lambswool and silk blend, they do not pill. These women's sweater tunics are very special, high quality and will last for years to come.

This cottage industry is based around a small team of knitters who make the garments in their own homes in the Scottish Orkney Islands using a naturally dyed, raw silk and lambswool blended yarn. Each piece has to travel, by boat, to each of the three knitters to be finished. They embody slow fashion and each knitwear piece is unique and made with love. We are very privileged to offer these to you; we are their only international stockist.
