MOSS & CABLES 100%

Knitted in moss stitch, links links, and a cable we designed and developed in-house, twisting through the surface like old ropes. These structures aren’t just decorative. Moss creates a cushioned density. Cables build up the fabric both visually and physically, giving this piece substance and a natural, grounding weight.

The cable is often said to symbolise fishermen’s ropes; the diamond, a hopeful harvest. These stories were dreamt up in the 1930s by a very clever textile historian, but the stitches themselves have always been about function: warmth, durability, structure. They were passed hand to hand and evolved over time for a reason.

Like anything added to the Curio collection, this piece was sampled and developed by hand. I tried over 20 different structures in all sorts of yarn combinations to get here. 8 ends of really amazing merino, how lucky am I to work with the best local ingredients. I can happily spend all day developing new ideas, but this one stopped me. The weight, the density, the way it feels on the skin… I’ve never made or seen anything quite like it.
