This authentic Cornish gansey has been ‘reverse-engineered’ from a Victorian photograph by designer and historian Penelope Hemingway. Its traditional design includes textured stitch patterns worked in knit-and-purl, a welt bearing the wearer’s initials, and sleeves knitted in the round from the top down.
It’s sized for a loose, comfortable fit, and has been knitted in a classic 5ply gansey wool from Wendy. This is available in cream, red and navy,
as well as the Atlantic Blue used here.
