Stories:
Hebridean
The sweaters and accessories for women and men are triumphs in colorwork. Fairisle bands, Scottish plaids, Celtic swirls, Nordic motifs and windowpane checks. These designs will hone your skills in stranded colorwork, intarsia and slip stitch. Colors trend from earthy to vibrant. Silhouettes are classic and casual. In addition to the cardigans and pullovers you’ll find patterned socks, slipper boots, a wrap, a ruana and a throw.
North Sea
Ruggedly chic, the fisherman knits for women and men suit walks along windswept coastlines or woodsy trails. Textured stitches, cables and ribs mix it up as patches or bands in a single sweater, or they stand alone in allover patterns. The grey, blue, cream and mauve colors play up the abundant texture. High-neck pullovers dominate - some whose hems dip slightly in the back.
Essentials
Key shapes and textures for fall/winter are translated into simple, easy-to-wear garments for women…the bobble stitched polo, the loopy cropped cardigan, the weave texture sweater, the color blocked top, the boucle shrug being a few. The bright autumnal color palette meshes with the season’s RTW, making it easy to fit these sweaters into your wardrobe.
