GUERNSEY WOOLENS
One of the few remaining manufacturers in the Channel Islands, they preserve the traditions passed down from their ancestors for 400 years while incorporating modern elements into their production.

Founded in 1976 on the island of Guernsey, England.
They produce high-quality Guernsey sweaters in a small shop on the island.
They are produced using the "Guernsey method," which combines traditional patterns and details.
Guernsey sweaters, which have been around since the 17th century, were loved as workwear by fishermen.
As a feature, the symmetrical design allows them to be worn either way, even in the dark sea.
And, it has a functional structure so as not to interfere with work.
The yarn used is 100% wool with a strong twist, and by knitting it tightly, it exhibits windproof and waterproof effects, and has high heat retention.
The knitting patterns are unique to families, villages, and regions, and were used to identify individuals in the event of a shipwreck.
They were also exported to Newfoundland, Canada, and in the 19th century, they were adopted as uniforms for the British army.
After that, due to their high practicality and functionality, they came to be widely worn as everyday wear.
Today, they are an indispensable item in traditional fashion.
