Almost Unwearoutable

Almost Unwearoutable Bespoke knitwear. Shooting, welly & boot socks, jumpers, hats, mitts & more. All knitted in England.

Almost Unwearoutable has been trading for over 80 years, first from a shop in Corbridge, then by mail order and now online. We sell mainly bespoke made to measure socks, including shooting stockings, kilt hose, welly socks, beagling stockings, boot socks, ski socks, and short socks for every day wear but we also make jumpers, hats, scarves, mittens and gloves, in all sizes from newborn up to # # .

We make traditional hunting gloves, and knitted waistcoats designed to fit under a hunting coat - in fact almost anything you can knit! We have a huge selection of colours and patterns and can match your tweed, tartan, regimental or racing colours - we can even personalise your socks with writing round the top! They are all hand made in Northumberland, and really are almost unwearoutable!! We test every new wool rigorously for comfort, washability and wear before we start selling it so you can be assured that they will last. We ship all over the world, so you are never far from the perfect sock!

Hope you all had a glorious 12th, didn’t get too hot and saw a more impressive eclipse than we did!

I am just home from the GWCT Scottish game fair where I’ve been helping the very talented .blackmore.art on his stand (no unwearoutable this year) and spent Saturday afternoon as barmaid and cocktail maker on the demijohn stand, which I LOVED! We even created a new cocktail, called the Hairy Hedgerow. Be sure to ask for one next time you’re in there - it’s gooood!
They very kindly gave some of my favourite elderflower vinegar as a pressie. If ever they are short staffed again and need a barmaid, that’s where you’ll find me!!

Soon these poppy stocking tops will grow some legs and be on their way to their forever home!

PS. For every pair of poppy stockings we sell, we give a donation to the Royal British Legion poppy appeal.

Well, almost! You can now buy anything except patterned top shooting stockings. The classic ones are available, as are all the jumpers and accessories. The patterned top stockings will have a bit more of a wait I’m afraid.

I suppose if you’re going to get a nail in your tyre, it might as well be a big one!
It was an expensive day, I might add, as the hole was too big to fix so a whole new tyre was needed. Why does this sort of thing always happen when your tyres are relatively new? Having said that, the spare tyre is still the one that came with the car (19 years old) so that’s got to be good value, even if the holed one wasn’t!
