Samuel Snider - Women's Guernsey Sweater in Italian Hemp Black

Description

A maritime classic reimagined, our unisex Guernsey sweater is handknitted in Bolivia from 100% hemp. The breathable, durable yarn gives the silhouette subtle structure, while each piece carries gentle variations that reflect the hand of its maker, making every sweater unique. Ideal for layering as the weather shifts.

Originating from the Channel Islands, Guernsey sweaters were traditionally handknitted by fishermen’s wives for warmth and resilience, often featuring patterns that signaled family or community. This version honors that heritage while modernizing proportions for everyday wear.

CTF Yarns specializes in creating circular fibers designed to be worn well and often, without undue harm to the environment. Each skein is intended for hand-knitting, allowing subtle variations that give every finished garment a unique, handcrafted character.
