The ‘Old Fashioned Garments’ roll neck jumper is a vintage reproduction faithfully adapted from an original late 1930s pattern. Each piece is individually hand made by Rosie on a manually operated knitting machine (sometimes referred to as ‘hand frame knitting’) using discontinued or end of line British 4-ply yarns which have been carefully chosen for their traditional appearance; thus each one is either unique or a very limited edition. The pattern is unusual in that the jumper is made with identical front & back pieces so that it can be worn both ways to ensure even wear.
This one is made from a medium weight pure Shetland wool in a lovely variegated spice brown melange - on my screen the close up with the pattern is most accurate.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
NB Accessories not included - shown with Donegal tweed trousers & suede Norfolk jacket which are also available on the website.
