Hand knitting wool from Ancient breeds
Using the wools from ancient and heritage breeds I have created styles that complement its natural characteristics. This cardigan uses the beautiful natural red/brown of this ancient breed, using traditional, cable knitting techniques, and extra long sleeves this garment is a celebration of this rare and chunk wool.
