Sophisticated and versatile, season spanning hand loomed designer knits and accessories.

Pieces are manually loom knit. Loom knitting is a hand process using a knitting machine; patterning and shaping the garment pieces are implemented simultaneously. All designs and fabrics are original; pieces are sewn and hand-finished. Most garments have between twenty and thirty yarns.

Emphasis is on treating the sweater surface like a canvas, experimenting with design, scale, juxtaposition and subtlety of color, texture and pattern influenced by ethnographic and antique textiles. Fit is important; these are not just ceremonial pieces. Shapings are deceptively simple using short rowing and subtle detail to achieve a total and seamless integration of the garment with the surface.
