Many "handmade" sweaters are actually made on a knitting machine — one guided by a person's hands, but a machine all the same, capable of turning out rows in a fraction of the time it takes a knitter working alone. Our offerings are hand knit in the truest sense: every stitch is formed one at a time on knitting needles, by hand, with no machine and no electricity anywhere in the process. It's slower and takes more care, and that's why each piece has a warmth and character no machine can replicate.
