19th century - Lea x Sea collection

For the launch of my online shop I created a collection of garments inspired by a Fair Isle scarf in display in the Shetland museum. Each items is presented in the same colorway but there is 9 colorways to choose from as each garment is made to order.

Lea x Sea - tunic

This piece is part of the more contemporary Fair Isle knitwear I offer. With the main body in a chunky Fisherman's rib the garment is light and easy to wrap in for a casual style. The pattern is still present but more subtile than on all-over items.

Lea x Sea - oversized cardigan

This is a colorway insired by lichen, seaweed and flowers of the island. Cardigans takes a lot longer to make but they really are showing the perfection of the craftmanship. The rib trim is attached by hand, grafting it on the main jumper which is technically challenging.
