“by the morning it had turned even colder and the sky over the land was ink-dark and heavy with rain, although out to sea it was clear and blue and a line of sociable fat white clouds drifted above the horizon.”
Threads – The Delicate Life of John Craske. Julia Blackburn.
The Charl West Spring weight Gansey vest is knitted in the highest quality merino and organic cotton yarn. It has fashion back shoulders, a neat but open crew neck and a new neater fitting silhouette which makes it feel light and airy for spring and summer. The arm hole is cut to the shoulder which makes it easy to wear over dresses and blouses or on it’s own. The authentic Norfolk “Herringbone” design has been enlarged and positioned to just above the rib and continues uninterrupted around the bottom half of the jumper. The West Gansey group take their name from the West family, a four-generation fishing family from Sheringham, Norfolk, who used the herringbone motif one their Gansey jumpers.
Available in Milk White, Tobacco, Royal Blue and Darkest Navy.
Description
New neater fit for Spring ’25!
The yarn for this style has been spun to order from a very high quality Oeko-tex certified organic Pima cotton (46%) and mulesing-free extrafine merino wool (54%) blend, then knitted in Nottinghamshire. it is tightly twisted to minimise the risk of pilling and colourfast. The high merino wool content means it won’t loose its shape over time, but it will spring back into shape when steamed or washed. It comes in two sizes S/M (to fit a women’s size 10-12) and M/L (to fit a women’s size 12-14). This style has a deliberately boxy fit so that it is light and airy for the British spring-summer months and can be worn layered over a T shirt or worn next to the skin due to its softness. The perfect mixture of warmth and cosiness, designed to be pulled over the shoulders when the breeze picks up or the sun hides behind a cloud!

Size S/M measures 54 cm in length and 48cm wide at the chest, 42cm wide at hem, 40.5cm across shoulders.
