A good knit does a lot of work from October to March. It’s the layer you reach for on the first cold morning, the one you pull on over a shirt for dinner, and the one you still love five winters later. This collection is our small, well-chosen edit of knitwear designed to do exactly that, made from natural fibres including mohair and alpaca, in classic shapes and colours that don’t date.
Winter wardrobe staples: The Elio alpaca jumper in navy is a quiet, versatile layer that works with almost everything. The Ayle mohair cardigan in onyx black and in grey is soft and light, and a good one for layering over a jumper or a plain tee.
Christmas gifts that last: Knitwear is a gift people keep, and it suits anyone who prefers one good piece to several cheap ones. At Christmas, a cardigan or jumper makes a considered present for a partner, a parent or a close friend. If you’re unsure of size or colour, a gift card is a safe alternative that lets them choose.
Made to be looked after: We like clothes that are worn, mended and cared for, rather than replaced. Natural-fibre knitwear tends to reward that care. Check the care label on any piece, but as a general rule, wash wool, mohair and alpaca gently and rarely, dry them flat away from direct heat, store them folded rather than hung, and mend small holes early with a neat darn so they don’t grow. A well-kept knit can last decades.
