Guernseys and Traditional Machine-Knitted Sweaters


Keep warm this winter : wear a woolly

 

 

The classic Guernsey

 

 

Guernseys :

 

These are traditional garments, manufactured to an exacting standard and designed for years of wear. The sizes shown below are actual garment size. These sweaters should be worn at least two inches larger than chest measurement. If you prefer a looser fit please order a larger size still.

 

 

Despite every effort to ensure consistency, the colours shown below may vary from the actual colour.

The classic Guernsey

The classic Guernsey

 

 

The knitting industry on Guernsey commenced in the early 16th century, when licences were granted by the Crown to import wool from England. Originally hand-knitted in one piece, the Guernsey sweater developed as a warm, hard-wearing garment for seamen. Although now machine-knitted, the tradition continues. The Guernseys we stock are made using the best English worsted wool, whose long fibres have been combed parallel to each other before spinning, reducing the likelihood of the surface fibres being disturbed by rubbing and giving a smooth surface and clear stitch definition. The main panels are machine-knitted but every garment is then finished by hand. The result is a strong, long-lasting garment that will hold its shape in both wearing and washing.
