Our Seaspray Collection draws on the textures, colours and skies seen around Britain's shores to create stunning garments. Deborah Helmke’s ‘Sea Kelp’ tunic features rippling cables, while Anniken Allis has given her fitted top an exquisite lace yoke. Jo Allport goes for relaxed style with her lace-hemmed jumper, and Rita Taylor’s smocked cardigan has a vintage feel. To herald the summer, we have lots of lovely lace for you, from a sweet shell top and a lace-yoked summer sweater by Sarah Hatton, to a pretty shawl in handpainted yarn and romantic socks by Barb Brown. Meanwhile, colourwork fans will enjoy the delicate motifs of Sasha Kagan’s intarsia rosebud sweater, and the charming children’s Fair Isle tank top decorated with little fish motifs by Sian Brown. We also explore the exciting new trends in shawl design, speaking to superstar designers including Stephen West, Veera Välimäki, Bristol Ivy and Martina Behm, and discover the modern Canadian style of design team Tin Can Knits.
