The Character jumper ~ Book Club Collection
Inspired by the letters that bring stories to life. Customise with your initial or a letter that is meaningful to you. The fit is a slightly oversized raglan jumper with chunky cuffing.
Each piece is hand-knitted by me, Gracie, in my Kent studio using a hand-operated, refurbished, secondhand knitting machine. I use the finest, natural chunky wool spun in Donegal, Ireland and Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Each piece is fully-fashioned and carefully linked by hand, producing little to no waste.
Size guide
| S | M | L | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chest width (cm) | 50 | 55 | 60 |
| Length (cm) | 53 | 55 | 57 |
| Sleeve length (from mid back) (cm) | 69 | 71 | 73 |
The measurements shown are taken with the garment lying flat. I would recommend comparing these to a garment you already own that you love the fit of! Each piece is handcrafted and therefore slight variations in measurements are to be expected.
Care guide
Wool is naturally antibacterial and odour-resistant, so frequent washing is not necessary - airing out is often enough.
When washing, use a gentle wool cycle or hand wash in lukewarm water. Gently press out excess water (never wring), reshape and dry flat.
Store folded rather than hung to help your knitwear keep its shape.
Sustainability
My pieces are made-to-order, meaning I only make what is needed and avoid unnecessary waste. Each piece is made by hand and from durable UK-spun wools, meaning I can ensure the production of high quality garments made to last. When my pieces do eventually reach the end of their life (hopefully after many hundreds of wears) the wool will completely biodegrade, returning gently to the Earth.
