Kelbourne Woolens second collection of the 2016 spring season: the Bristol Ivy Collection. Known for her unique approaches to construction, brilliant use of geometry, and feminine detailing, Bristol Ivy used The Fibre Co. Cumbria and The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering to great effect, creating a wearable, unique, and beautifully styled collection of sweaters that are as lovely to knit as they are to wear.

From Bristol:
“I am an unabashed lover of vintage fashion and costume drama, especially those based in a time period, like the 1940s, where handknits took center stage. I was inspired by the thought of bringing those vintage, feminine shapes and lines together with clean, architectural details and modern proportions. This collection is the result! Six sweaters, all worked in the hardy, drapey, infinitely wearable Cumbria and Cumbria Fingering, all with relaxed and flattering fits that harken back to the femininity and strength of the 1940s, and all with sharp architectural lines of ribbing and mesh to bring the details to the modern day.”
