“Most jumpers that come in are usually in need of some sort of repair. It may be holes that need stitching up or the replacement of a worn collar, so every knit starts with this slow process. Choosing the colour scheme for each jumper is the best bit, I use colours that I think will truly enhance the traditional patterns. Depending on the jumper it takes up to 30 hours to carefully embroider the coloured yarn into the knit. The long process is worth it to see the garment transform.”
I was very tempted to opt for the brand’s custom-made service, which allows you pick a particular jumper style and colour scheme, before it’s handmade with your specifications, however I ended up falling for a pre-made multi-coloured knit in shades of blue, red and orange, and I can honestly say that it could be mistaken for a designer creation. Cosy and versatile, I’ll be wearing mine with everything from denim to midi dresses come autumn. Scroll down to see how I’m styling my jumper and shop Mad Brown Knitwear’s beautiful creations.
