A Fair Isle classic, designed for year-round wear.
A well-crafted Fair Isle top is a true wardrobe essential—effortless to layer and beautiful in every season.

Designed by Monica Russel, our Copper Calypso top combines a cool, calm palette with a flattering deep neckline and neat ribbed hem. It’s ideal for layering over a crisp cotton shirt with jeans when there’s a light breeze in the air.

Knitted in our British Double-Knit yarn, it brings lightweight warmth, intricate colourwork, and endless versatility to your everyday wardrobe.

Naturally lighter and noticeably warmer than traditional wool, alpaca fibre offers a beautiful, fluid drape with a softness that never feels scratchy against the skin.

It’s a joy to stitch with - turning simple rows into pieces you’ll reach for year after year.

🧶 Highland Dreams.

It’s easily one of our favourite designs, and judging by your projects, it’s one of yours too.

Swapped, stitched, and styled in so many ways, this pattern is knitted in our Superfine Alpaca DK - which gives you 20 rich shades to play with.

We loved meeting one of our makers recently. She’d loved the project so much she wore one version and showed us photos of a second version she had at home with our Rust edging.

It’s always such a joy seeing how you make our patterns your own.

The kind of sweater you’ll reach for season after season.
True to its name, our Complimentary Sweater is an effortless classic - clean, smart, and designed to pair seamlessly with everything from your favourite jeans to tailored skirts.

Worked in our British Double Knit on 4mm needles, it offers a rewardingly swift knit that’s equally suited to straight needles or circulars. A timeless, versatile piece that proves simple design is often the most striking.
