New for AW26! Our modern take on the heritage cable in dark navy. Combining the classic rope cable with vertical ribs, the Norah sweater has an asymmetric collar and side button opening. The extended cuffs fold back, or wear them extra long to cover your hands.
For the collar detail, we took inspiration from the Scottish gansey knitters, who first introduced the side button neck in the late 19th century. The style is named after Norah Neilson Grey, a Scottish painter of the Glasgow School.
Made from 100% certified, traceable British Bluefaced Leicester wool, our yarn is spun in Yorkshire and knitted in London. This is quite a dense knit which takes almost a kilo of wool (equivalent to nearly a whole fleece) to knit. If you want a warm sweater for the coldest months, this is it.
The Bluefaced Leicester breed is known for the fineness of their fleece. When knitted, it's incredibly soft and is comfortable to wear next to the skin. It's fully traceable from farm to fibre and certified by British Wool, which means that farmers are guaranteed a fair price for their wool. It also means we know every farmer who's fleece went into our yarn.
This sweater is more of a regular fit than some of our other styles. Take your usual size.
Made in England in small batches.
