This new off-shoulder guernsey jumper features a natural undyed mushroom coloured yarn in a muted grey-brown shade, offering a relaxed alternative to the classic Le Tricoteur fit.

Designed to sit shorter and wider, loosely sitting at hip instead of fitting tighter and longer in the body. This slouchy off-shoulder shape provides a comfortable, roomier feel. Made with tightly woven worsted wool and featuring the typically ribbed details on the shoulders, this jumper is hand-finished by our skilled team of linkers after having the neck and shoulders knitted by our hand knitters working from home. 

One size fits with a 23-inch length and 50-inch width for easy wearing.

The very opposite of fast fashion, Le Tricoteur’s quality knitwear lasts a lifetime.

How do I look after my guernsey?

Guernsey jumpers from Le Tricoteur are made to be long lasting & are knitted to a tight weave that aids their wind and water proofing ability. If you are wondering how to look after your guernsey jumper then we have included some tips and tricks and further advice below...

Wool also doesn’t need to be washed nearly as much as synthetic man made fibres. It self-regulates its moisture levels too - which helps stop the build-up of soggy bacteria (and nasty smells ) and as a result it stays fresher longer.

Their unique design means they can be worn either way and we recommend you wear it front to back, then back to front on rotation.

Do not hang it up on a hanger. Because they are a 100% wool garment they are best stored folded so the natural yarn doesn’t stretch.

Moth babies can be known to feast on wool so if you want to avoid a scattering of half eaten holes, Please use a bag of cedar wood balls to store alongside your favourite sweaters.

How to wash your guernsey jumper

Can I put my guernsey in the washing machine? We certainly don’t recommend it but we have known brave souls try a very gentle wool wash. 

In our opinion all our Le Tricoteur knitwear is best hand washed in warm water (not hot) with a washing detergent that’s specifically designed for wool, then rinsed clean in hand temperature water and dried flat.

Do not rub or wring. 

When the water has run clean of bubbles, you can put it on a spin cycle (no more than 600 will do) to get the bulk of the water out before spreading it out flat to dry.

Do not leave it drying in direct sun / draped over a radiator or drip dryed on a hanger. 

Back in the day It was not uncommon to see guernseys draped over shady hedgerows to dry. 

If you prefer, you can also dry-clean our knitwear.
