Orkney Hand Knit - Aretha Jacket - Tyrian/Greengage/Shingle

This 3/4 sleeve jacket is ideal for an extra layer and is perfect all year round. One size fits all, dropped shoulder boxy style, with a contrasting coloured pocket on the front, contrasting cuffs and inner back hem. It has a pocket at the front knitted and double shell buttons that have been hand dyed to match the yarn. These handmade women's cardigans are very special and are long lasting. They do not pill.

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.
