Margate Hand Knitted Cardigan

Relaxed fit hand knitted open cardigan in moorland green. This heavy-weight knit is soft and cosy to keep you warm. Throw it on over whatever you are wearing. Drop shoulders. No fastenings. Inverted pockets with cable detail. Roll-up finish at cuffs and hem. Handknitted with hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn made from non-mulesed wool. A resilient yarn that softens and adapts over time. Each of our handknits are individually knitted by the ladies we work with in Nepal. Made in small runs, every garment takes a week to be knitted. To reflect the personal quality of these knits and the care and skills that have been invested we have included the signature of the knitter on the label. As requested by you, our hand-knits now come with a skein of matching yarn. This way you can darn your knit if necessary. A wonderful way to extend the life of a garment and reduce waste.
