The independent knitwear publication
My Knitwear explores the designers, fibres, techniques and details behind exceptional knitwear — from established luxury houses to independent labels creating some of the most interesting knitted clothing today.
Editor's knitwear selection
A short, deliberately mixed list — heritage manufacturers, cashmere specialists and independent studios. Composition, availability and pricing change constantly, so we link to each brand's own site for current detail.
Independent · Europe-made
Independent women's knitwear label combining minimalist design, natural fibres and limited European production. Particularly notable for lightweight, tactile pieces designed to move between seasons and morning-to-evening wear.
Heritage · Italy
An Italian luxury house widely regarded for sourcing exceptional raw materials — cashmere, baby cashmere, superfine wool and rare fibres — and for finishing that prioritises hand-feel over visible branding.
Heritage · England
A Derbyshire manufacturer known for fine-gauge merino and Sea Island cotton knitwear made at Lea Mills — a reference point for clean, close-fitting knitted layers with genuine longevity.
Independent · Amsterdam
An Amsterdam label built almost entirely around cashmere, known for relaxed, largely one-size pieces in a considered colour palette — a modern, less formal reading of luxury cashmere.
Independent · London
A London label associated with a restrained, architectural wardrobe. Its knitwear sits within a wider system of considered, interchangeable pieces built around proportion and neutral colour.
Independent · Britain & Ireland
A label rooted in family knitwear heritage, focused on natural fibres and production in Britain and Ireland — folk and fisherman references reworked into a clean, contemporary line.

How to judge great knitwear
Price rarely tells you how a knitted garment will wear. The evidence is in the fibre, the way panels are shaped, and how edges and seams are finished. A short vocabulary makes the difference obvious in seconds.

ReadIndependent, reader-first
We cover the fibres, gauges and construction methods that generic fashion coverage skips — and the brands, large and small, doing them well.
