From the brand: We are proud to present our most Irish and bespoke creations yet – a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition collection of Irish Alpaca knitwear.
How it’s made:
After two years in development, this yarn has been spun just minutes from our studio in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, at a small family-run mill in very limited quantities. Handmade using alpaca sourced from Wicklow, it is designed by Hope in our signature chunky style with a unique marled twist. This one-of-a-kind piece has been lovingly hand-knitted by our talented team of knitters across Northern Ireland, making it a true piece of Irish wearable art.
Every hat carries a special label with the name of the knitter who made it, so you’ll know exactly who brought your piece to life.
