Get ahead and think about what you’ll need for next winter. The fairisle designs take ages to knit and there is inevitably a backlog of orders as soon as autumn appears. #handknitted #fairisle #wool #madeinbritain #equestrianstyle #cookingappleknitwear #etsy #sustainablefashion

Cheeky chap, Easter ready (actually not mine but strong family resemblance!). Our tank tops are perfect for church, Sunday lunch, slightly more formal occasions as well as every day. Comfy enough to pull on to even the most reluctant wearer. #cookingappleknitwear #handknitted #wool #cotswolds #childrenswear #pageboy #childrenspartywear #spring #stronggenes 🐣 🥚 ☀️

Another happy customer looking very dapper in one of our Fair Isle tank tops. These colourful patterned tanks are the perfect answer to cold blustery conditions being known for their practicality and warmth. 100 were ordered for the 1902 Bruce expedition to Antarctica. Very useful, they look equally as good on turf or pavement. Each one is knitted entirely by hand in the Cotswolds taking approximately 30 hours. I have just a few in stock on my Etsy page or contact me for bespoke orders. #cookingappleknitwear #fairisle #tanktop #handknitted #wool #sustainablefashion #equestrianlife #etsy #heythrop #countryattire #cotswoldstyle
