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: The name of this cardigan is taken from Emily Codling of Sheringham who was a Gansey knitter. She was the sister of Cutty Cooper and she knitted his jumper which featured ropes and hailstones.

Details

CODLING. Toffee Apple (PRE-ORDER) by Charl Knitwear. PRE-ORDER NOW FOR DELIVERY MID-NOVEMBER. Drawing inspiration from the Norfolk fishermen’s Gansey jumpers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Codling is a slouchy men's style V-neck cardigan. It has been knitted in a fisherman’s rib stitch and trimmed with sustainable brown natural corozo buttons. Studying the form of this style, Frankie has emphasised the shaping and fully fashioning of the ribbed panels so that they have as few seams as possible. Created from 100% Peruvian baby alpaca yarn from the Peruvian highlands and knitted in Perugia, Italy, this yarn is un-dyed and a completely natural fibre. The yarn is twisted to create a luxurious 3 ply chunky weight knit so this style can be worn as an outerwear piece during the warmer months. 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.
