The Delamere collection is an exclusive knitwear set from Germander Cottage Crafts. The hat, cowl and fingerless mitts have been inspired by one of Northern England’s most loved forests- Delamere. The slipped stitch pattern peaks resemble the evergreen tree tops you’ll find there, as well as the winged inhabitants.
