Cooper
£60.00
“He did the sails, working with the wind if there was a wind and with nothing at all if they were simply letting themselves go with the pull of the tide.”
Threads – The Delicate Life of John Craske. Julia Blackburn.
Inspired by the Norfolk Fishermen’s Gansey jumpers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Cooper is a unisex, one size only fisherman’s beanie hat.
Its namesake was Cutty Cooper, a Sheringham fisherman, working the waters around 1900. His Gansey jumper was rich with fishing iconography which have been translated into the beanie hat, they include: two bands of “ridge and furrow” stitch followed “hailstone” stitch which have then been shaped (fully fashioned) to fit this snug beanie hat.
