5 out of 5 starsThanks so much! Reveiced the cardigan today and it's just wonderful! The color is absolutely perfect and the material and craftsmanship leave nothing to be desired. The measurements I gave might have been a bit off, because the cardigan is very snug around the shoulders. Otherwise, I'm very happy :)

Shop policies
We offer unconventional hand illustrated fair Isle patterns on classic, wearable knitwear.
Designed and handcrafted in London. Each piece is a limited edition. We care about what you wear and so every effort is made to keep production small and as eco friendly as possible. We think you care about what you wear too and so we aim to provide as much information on where and how it is produced as possible.
The yarns are sourced from Europe, mainly using Shetland Lambswool and Italian Merino. On each listing there is a short description of the yarn and wash care.If you are interested in learning more about the yarns used I have a dedicated page on my website - http://www.pollypurl.co.uk/yarns.php
Every garment is knitted on a domestic knitting machine. The fair isle patterns used are unique and have been created from hand drawn illustrations. My machine is not an automatic machine and creating a garment in this way takes patience and practice.
