The EASY
Discover the creativity and craftsmanship behind the knits in our new series: UNSPUN.
Here we take a look at our boxier shape.
The EASY
The EASY is a jumper with a little swing in its step. With a very subtle drop sleeve, a hem that drapes rather than grips and its fitted cuff. The EASY is chic, modern and well, easy.
The EASY fit and feel
The OVERSIZE is knitted in a heavier 3gg and is longer and more oversized in its fit, whereas we’ve knitted the EASY in 5gg. The RELAXED is knitted in 7gg making it slightly lighter, but because the EASY does not have a rib hem to pull it in, the 5gg gives the EASY its beautiful shape and structure without being too heavy. The EASY is designed to be slightly shorter and boxier in the fit, with a beautiful stitch detail on the arm sleeve.
On the banks of Loch Leven
Our superfine wool arrives in Scotland by boat once a year, sourced from a special breed of sheep in South Africa. Responsible Wool Certified.
The wool has 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, where it is spun and dyed on the banks Loch Leven in Kinross by Todd & Duncan, one of the finest Scottish Mills. They use a pioneering and cyclical process that helps to protect the environment in and around the Loch.
The knitty-gritty
How long does it take to make?
Each piece is lovingly crafted, taking around two hours each to perfect, from knitting to final press and packaging. Quality time is spent linking the different sections of the garment together, checking stitch by stitch, ensuring each and everyone matches and is aligned. The process is meticulous and delicate, creating the finest of knits.
How would you style the EASY?
With a slightly boxier, shorter in length shape the EASY is perfectly styled with high waisted jeans for a more relaxed, modern look. To dress up pair with a tonal slip skirt, for effortless elegance. A truly versatile knit.
What is the inspiration behind the shape?
You loved the RELAXED, but wanted something shorter in the body. You also loved the OVERSIZE with the draped hem, but wanted a lighter-weight knit. We listened and created the EASY. The modern, effortless boxy shape, with the perfect amount slouch with our signature dropped sleeve.
With its slightly shorter boxier wider fit, there’s an elegant swing to the EASY. A style that is versatile and well, easy.
