After an hour or so the upward flood of tide held its breath for an elongated moment and then it changed direction and we were being pulled back the way we had come, down towards the meeting of river with sea…”

Threads-The delicate Life of John Craske. Julia Blackburn.

  • Charl Knitwear 2019 British Wool

New for Autumn ’24. Inspired by the Norfolk Fishermen’s Gansey jumpers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Rix is a modern interpretation of a traditional Gansey. Crafted in Nottinghamshire (Great Britain) from the highest quality 100% certified British wool.

Available in 5 colours; Navy Blue, Heather Pink, Sage Green, natural undyed Oatmeal and natural undyed Milk White. This piece is slightly lighter in weight than the Craske, with an open crew neck but the same generous boxy fit. It can be worn by men or women and is perfect to pull on when the coastal breeze picks up. The top half of the body is knitted in an original “hailstone”. The sleeves are flatteringly long and can be pulled down to cover the knuckles, the hem is very slightly curved to create a flattering silhouette.

The Rix is named after Walter “Kite” Rix, a Cromer fisherman and lifeboatman who came from a long line of fishermen.

“From fleece to finished knit in less than 125 miles.”
