The catalog

Every stitch, in one place.

Four things we make, and one we mend — all of it coming off the needles in Portland, Maine.

01 — Cardigans

Fisherman cable cardigan

A weighty cable cardigan in undyed wool — roomy through the shoulder and soft enough to live in from the first cold morning to the last.

Shop cardigans →

02 — Sweaters

Merino crewnecks

The everyday layer, in cherry red and off-white. Fine merino, close to the skin, made to be worn under everything else you own.

03 — Hats

Wool watch caps

Ribbed, doubled at the brim, and small enough to live in a coat pocket until the wind picks up.

04 — Yarn

Hand-dyed yarn skeins

Dyed by hand, one pot at a time, in the studio. Enough for a hat, a pair of mittens, or the start of something bigger.

Ways in

Three ways to start.

Tell us who you're buying for, or what you're fixing, and we'll point you at the right wool — no guessing, no wrong size.

Repair & reknitting

Send us the one you can't part with.

Moth holes, worn cuffs, a sleeve that finally gave out — we match the yarn and the gauge, then reknit by hand so the mend disappears into the knit.

  1. 01 Tell us about the sweater. Describe the damage and where it sits on the garment.
  2. 02 We match the yarn and gauge. Then the reknitting begins, stitch by stitch, at the bench.
  3. 03 Back in rotation. Your sweater comes home ready for another winter of wear.
