We have been known for our fingerless gloves for the last 20 years and in 2016 we moved production into our Fitzroy studio. The gloves are knitted on a state of the art computerised Shima Seiki ‘whole garment’ knitting machine.

Our NEW slouch beanie has been a huge hit this year. We’ve done a run in our brush tail possum* fibre, merino and silk yarns from New Zealand. It is a soft and slouchy style that fits a wide range of heads and styles and is very flattering and comfy on. As with our fingerless gloves we have knitted these with our Japanese lycra yarn to give it stretch and return and to stop it from going too floppy.

The beanies in the photos have been freshly finished so are looking a little peaky and over-pressed, they will soften with wear and develop a lovely shape.

Materials:( 65% merino, 25% brush tail possum, 10% silk) lycra yarn (Japan) elastic yarn (Japan)

* Introduced into New Zealand during the 19th century, the Brushtail Possum is a notified pest. It thrived in the country’s forests and the population exploded. Every year, the Brushtail Possum cause immense harm to the country’s natural flora and fauna. Control programmes manage the Brushtail Possum population to protect native trees, plants and birdlife. The fibre we source for Perino yarns is a by-product of those eradication programmes. It is collected from a small number of carefully selected regions and only at certain times of the year. We blend it with only the finest microns of merino or cashmere to guarantee softness and consistency.
