Cable Knits
Cable knit has a rich history rooted in practicality and tradition. Originating in the cold, harsh climates of Ireland and the British Isles, these jumpers were originally crafted by women for their fishermen husbands. The intricate cable patterns, formed by twisting and crossing stitches, served a dual purpose: they added warmth and insulation, making the garments ideal for braving the weather, and they also provided a distinctive visual identity for each family or clan. The popularity of cable knit sweaters grew rapidly, and they soon became a symbol of rugged masculinity and timeless style. Today, cable knit remains a beloved and enduring fashion staple, appreciated for its warmth, comfort, and classic appeal.

Fair Isle Patterns
Fair Isle knitting originated on the small, remote Scottish island of Fair Isle, located between the Scottish mainland and Orkney. The islanders developed this intricate knitting technique as a means of survival, using local wool to create warm and durable garments that could withstand the harsh climate. Fair Isle patterns are characterised by their bold, geometric designs, often featuring contrasting colours and intricate patterns of diamonds, triangles, and zig zags. These patterns were traditionally used to identify different families and clans, with each family having its own unique design. Today, Fair Isle knitting remains a beloved and celebrated craft, appreciated for its beauty, complexity, and rich heritage.
