We Think

One of the very many things we love about Frankie's Charl Knitwear is the tradition and stories behind each piece that makes them even more special: This jumper takes its name from Jimmy “Chibbles” Bishop, a Sheringham man who came from a long line of fishermen and whose Gansey was created by Esther Nurse, a much admired knitter.

Details

CHIBBLES. Cream & Navy Stripe by Charl Knitwear. BACK IN STOCK. Drawing inspiration from the Norfolk Fishermen’s Gansey jumpers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Chibbles is a nautically striped, women’s jumper. This style has an integrally knitted funnel neck which is worn high (unfolded) to keep out the wind and the emphasised fashioning ribs around the raglan shoulders and neck line are beautifully aligned with the stripe. It also has flared sleeves, a direct inversion of the tight cuffs and wide arm holes of the original Ganseys. It also has a stepped hem with side splits which give this garment a relaxed and more modern feel. Knitted in 100% traceable British worsted wool, spun in Yorkshire and knitted in Perugia, Italy by a wonderful family run business of largely female craftspeople. Hand wash only when necessary* in cold or tepid water. Reshape whilst damp. Dry flat. Do not tumble dry. Gently steam (using the steam setting on your iron). *Most knitwear will refresh with a hang outside on a bright and breezy day. Find Charl Knitwear at www.youngbritishdesigners.com
