Full description

Extra large unisex sweater hand knitted with knitting needles. Very local undyed Shetland lambswool from 5 farms in the PL and TQ postcodes in Devon and Cornwall. Expertly woollen spun by The Natural Fibre Company in Launceston, only a few miles away from me. Undyed pure sheep colour. Breed specific British Shetland wool.

Deep grown on roll collar, long raglan sleeves with cable detail. Double rib cuffs and hems and side slits. The same front and back, so can be worn either way.

I am knitting this style of sweater in other British breed specific lambswools, dyed or undyed as the sheep intended.

Hand knitted with needles, artisan handmade, there are slubs and irregularities which add to the unique quality. Some pilling is to be expected as pure lambswool.

Measurements : Extra Large - Unisex

Chest : 52 inches unstretched

Length back neckline to hem : 28/29 inches.

Very local Shetland lambswool, hand knitted in my studio overlooking the wilds of high Dartmoor.

Slow artisan textiles. Biodegradable, circular, sustainable, no waste. Made by hand to last.

Washing instructions :

Hand wash separately in hand hot water and gentle soap or non rinse wool wash, without agitation to avoid shrinkage and felting. Leave to soak then gently squeeze and lift out. Rinse gently in similar temperature hand hot water to avoid shocking the wool, from hot to cold. Roll in a towel to remove excess water and dry flat or hang over a rail away from direct heat.
