Ladies and gentlemen: the Real Deal. A guernsey styled by descendants of British settlers, who live with and by the sea of the Canadian Maritimes every day. You are looking at generations of experience and tradition. Here are the classic trademarks of the guernsey: the knit/purl patterning (double moss and the tree motif), the saddle shoulder, the ropey cables symbolizing the work of the sea. The ribbing is twisted for extra durability. Cottage Craft Woollens have sold these sweaters as finished goods to tourists for decades; they are now being made widely available as patterns for the first time.
