Sizing and Length Info
We recommend that our handknits are worn "soft and loose" and should "skim" rather than cling to the body. This allows for the movement we feel necessary for these beautiful knitwear Designs, the intricacy of their patterns and stitching to be shown to their best effect. If you require assistance with specific sizing requirements we will be delighted to advise you, please Contact Us.
By its very nature Handmade Cotton Knitwear has a tendency to grow slightly. An allowance for this should be considered when making your choice of size and length.
100% Fully Machine Washable Cotton Yarn.
Yarn Colours are subject to availability.

Sleeve Lengths
Inner sleeve lengths of our Hand Knitted Designs are generally 17.5" (44.5cm). This measurement is taken from the underarm to the finished cuff.
Drop-shoulder Designs have an average inner sleeve length of 15" (38cm).
Some of our knitwear Designs have a three-quarter-length sleeve and others may have a longer sleeve, falling onto the back of the wrist. These variations are indicated within the descriptions of the individual Designs.
Tolerances
Due to the handmade nature of our Designs and the individual knitter's interpretation of the patterns, slight variation in the design and stitching illustrated may occur. Even the same knitter is unable to knit two identical garments. This is part of the intrinsic charm of our high quality handmade knitwear.
We accept that a tolerance of no more than 1" (2.5cm) in either direction is passable by our quality controllers, due to variations in knitting tension, but pride ourselves that the majority of our garment measurements are accurate.
Each Colour intensifies when knitted.
Variation in shade of yarn at dyer's normal variation level will be allowed as acceptable by our quality controllers.
