Scottish-spun wool
Hand-finished
Chunky 3 gauge
British madeA limited edition piece. The LORTON 007 is our softest and slouchiest LORTON yet. Inspired by our previous LORTON cardigans, we've taken that much-loved cocooning and relaxed shape and added hood and knitted with a new twisted take on our signature 100% Scottish-spun wool. Knitted in Nottinghamshire, LORTON 007 is knitted with almost 1.5kgs of wool, ensuring versatility - working as a luxurious go-to-layer for when the temperature dips. With a twisted yarn of grey and brown tones to create a neutral hue - the beautiful float stitch can be seen on the front continuing all the way around the back. Finished with side pockets and made-in-England Corozo nut buttons.
We recommend airing as the best way to look after your knit. That's why we started a club. A Wash Less, Air More Club. We'd love you to join us.
To help manage any pilling, add a complimentary wool comb at checkout.

The Details
Building on the huge success of the LORTON released in 2022 & 2023, we've taken the much loved float stitch design and added it to a hooded cardigan for a refreshed modern look. This is Navygrey's take on a traditional piece, where we focus on the intricate details.
The float stitch design, on both the front and back of the garment is inspired by the Scottish Fair Isle sweaters. We've created this tonal textured stitch, by the formation of knit and pearl stitches moving together and floating across one another to create a reverse Fair Isle pattern. Intricate stitch detail with the finest Scottish-spun Lomond slub Lamb's wool.
Made in Nottinghamshire, each piece is fully fashioned, where each section of the hooded cardigan is knitted separately and linked together by hand and hand-finished. The process is meticulous and delicate, creating the finest of knits, with often minimal, or zero waste.
The hooded cardigan has three natural buttons. Each button is delicately etched with Navygrey and made from Corozo nuts, which are derived from the Tagua palm tree. Sustainable, natural and practical. Made in England, uniquely ours.
The finest Scottish-spun wool
Unlike our previous LORTON styles the hooded cardigan is made out of a new yarn, 100% Scottish-spun Lomond slub lamb's wool. This is where two different shades of our superfine Scottish-spun yarn is twisted together to form a unique colour combination. The Lomond Slub has an added weight to it, we've knitted it into a luxurious 3 gauge, creating a super-soft and chunky hooded cardigan for you.
Our superfine wool arrives in Scotland by boat once a year, sourced from a special breed of sheep in South Africa.
With a fibre diameter of c. 18.5 microns, it is one of the world's finest and softest Lambs Wools (most average 21-24 microns).
The wool arrives in Scotland by boat, where it is spun and dyed on the banks of Loch Leven in Kinross by Todd & Duncan, one of the finest Scottish Mills which has been spinning yarn for 150+ years.
85% of the dyes used by Todd & Duncan are organic and the water used for washing and dyeing the wool is cleaned and purified before being returned to Loch Leven to be used again. It is a pioneering and cyclical process that helps to protect the environment in and around the loch.
