More about my cardigan jackets…

I have only one available at the moment - deep ocean green in medium size (approx UK size 12-14) available at the moment, approximately 55cms long at centre back excluding collar.

These cardigan jackets are soft, light and easy to wear. They are knitted in 80% silk 20% viscose.

They are fully washable and easy to look after. No need to dry clean. See garment care for details.

They come without fastenings so you can wear it open or fasten with a brooch. The brooch option gives you greater flexibility as you can fasten it high or low depending on where it’s best for your shape. In the pictures I’ve styled the cardigan with one of my optional button brooches or decorative kilt pins.

  • 80% silk 20% viscose, hand dyed

    The thick stripes are silk and the thin stripes are viscose

    Washable - see garment care for full details

  • The model wearing ‘slate’ colourway is approximately UK size 10 and wears size medium

    The model wearing ‘deep ocean green’ colourway is approximately UK size 12 and wears size medium

    Find your size on my size guide or ask me for advice (it’s best to check your current measurements so you choose the right size)

    If you would like me to advise on size/fit, please get in touch with your height, bust measurement, and the colour you are interested in

  • Knitted clothes and accessories are probably the perfect example of ‘slow fashion’. I believe that we should choose the clothing we buy carefully, select items which will last, ideally keep them for years, and know how to look after each piece.

    And because I knit only very small quantities of each piece, wastage is reduced, and production is more sustainable. Nothing is made in the far east, everything is handmade in Britain, slowly and carefully, and made to last.

    I’m delighted to say that some of my customers are still wearing knits they bought from me 20 years ago.
