Fife Gansey Knit in Navy 100% Virgin Merino Wool

 FIFE BANDED GANSEY KNIT

Scottish knitwear is world leading in terms of production, quality, and story telling. The Fife Gansey Knit is our limited edition sweater, produced in one of Scotland's best knitwear factories to the highest standards. We have used a soft but hearty 100% Virgin Merino wool, perfect for warmth, comfort and durability. Using a tightly spun 5-ply worsted wool (popularly known as "Seamen's Iron") the intricately patterned Gansey is knitted in a fully fashioned construction on 5 gauge machine. 

The Gansey style is a distinctive woollen sweater, originally designed to provide protection for fishermen from wind and water but which is ideal for all outdoor activity. The Fife Gansey is based on a vintage pattern from the area of Fife, Scotland. The patterning to back and front and upper part of the sleeve provides decoration as well as an extra layer of warmth.
