HANDMADE IN NEPAL
Our merino accessories are finely knitted by skilled artisans at a small workshop in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The workshop works to fair trade principles, combining skilled craftsmanship with carefully controlled small-scale production. Unlike our hand-knitted wool collection, these pieces are made using hand-operated knitting machines. The machines are manually controlled by the artisans, bringing together the precision of fine-gauge knitting with the skill and attention of the person making each piece.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our fine-knit accessories are made from supersoft, finely spun, non-mulesed merino wool. Naturally insulating, breathable, elastic and resilient, merino wool provides warmth without unnecessary bulk, with a soft, comfortable feel against the skin. Wool naturally resists odours and requires relatively infrequent washing. Natural shades of grey, brown and cream are undyed, while other colours are created using azo-free dyes.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Knitting by hand-operated machine: Each piece is finely knitted on a hand-operated knitting machine. Rather than being part of an automated production line, the machine is manually operated by a skilled artisan who controls the fabric as it is created. The clack of the machines makes the workshop a hive of activity!
- Linking for precision seams: When working with delicate merino wool, a linking machine is used to seam and assemble individual knitted panels — such as closing side seams and attaching neckbands and edging — with a flexible chain stitch that moves and stretches with the natural give of the yarn.
- Finishing by hand: Every piece is finished by hand: yarn ends are invisibly woven into the knit; and the finger ends of every glove are double stitched for strength.
- Pressing: Finally, the workshop team carefully checks and presses each piece, ready to send to us.
