The Deganwy jumper is inspired by the traditional fishermen jumpers and ganseys, knitted ubiquitously up and down the coasts of the UK for the men who went to sea by the people who loved them. It was an article of clothing that signified love, connection and belonging.
This jumper is a modern take on a traditional design, this time a top-down easy to wear unisex design, with a dropped shoulder.
It is designed to be worn with 3-4 inches of positive ease and end at mid-hip; the design has a cosy folded neck and relatively narrow arms.

Saona is a delightful, lightweight transitional season and summer yarn. It's a blend of 50% Spanish Merino and Manchega wool and 50% Andalusian cotton - all of it traceable, grown, spun and dyed in Spain. Saona is dyed before it's spun, resulting in a beautiful heathered look.
Cotton can be difficult to grow and source sustainably as it needs a lot of water to be grown. So imagine our delight when we found this blend - locally sourced and produced, by a 4th generation GOTS-certified family-owned mill!
