The Details
Building on the huge success of our previous LORTONs with the float stitch detail we've taken the same stitch design and added it to a new crew neck style design 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 Lamb's wool.
Made in Nottinghamshire, each piece is fully fashioned, where each section of the jumper 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 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. Lomond slub wool is super soft and has a certain weight to it which creates a slouchiness that is unmatched. Knitted into a luxurious 3 gauge, creating a soft and chunky jumper for warmth.
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.
