Norna Jacket - Orkney Hand Knit - Mint

How delighted we are to offer you these quirky, fun, home made knits from the wild and windy Orkney Islands off the top of mainland Scotland. This cottage industry is based around a small team of knitters who make the garments in their own homes using a naturally dyed, raw silk and lambs wool blended yarn. Each piece has to travel (by boat) to each of the three knitters to be finished and then once finished they make their way to us. We are very privileged to offer these to you, we are their only International stockist.

This is a new style jacket that is ideal for an extra layer, all year round. One size - it is a smaller cropped jacket, with a rolled edge vee neck.. It is a dropped shoulder boxy style, and it has slopping pockets at the sides and running down the front are double shell buttons that have been hand dyed to match the yarn.  These are very special and are long lasting and they do not pill.

These pieces exhibit everything that Berrima's Overflow loves - natural, creative, sustainable, colourful, happy, long lasting, real clothing! The slowest fashion we can find!
