What was your inspiration?

Highland

Inspired by old tales of wild fairies, banshees and kelpies who are said to dwell in the North of Scotland.

Highland is a collection of warm, soft knits, designed to keep out the chill as the days get shorter.

With shaggy, faux-fur accents, soft mirrored cables and a touch of lace and tartan, this collection is both fun to knit and wear.

What are you most proud of?

The shaggy wool-look collar - the balance between the small body and the large collar.
