Keep it long, treasure it long.

Woven from British tradition

This turtleneck sweater features an eye-catching braided pattern on the shallow high neckline.
The charm lies in the depth of color and rich texture created by layering and twisting mixed and solid yarns. It has a strong presence that makes it a statement piece on its own, yet it also blends seamlessly and elegantly when layered with a shirt.
The relaxed silhouette gives it a feminine and soft feel, with thick ribbing at the cuffs and hem for a subtle accent. The comfortable width ensures unrestricted movement and promises a comfortable fit for everyday wear.

Lightweight Comfort Created by British Wool

The lambswool is carefully spun by TOD & DUNCAN, a company with over 150 years of history as Scotland's oldest spinning mill, located on the shores of Loch Leven. They select only the most delicate and soft wool from ethically sourced sheep. The worsted spinning technique, passed down in Britain, creates a light and airy yarn by twisting the fibers through the movement and rotation of the spindle. Furthermore, by applying the appropriate amount of oil to the fibers, stress on each individual fiber is minimized, maximizing the inherent suppleness and warmth of the natural material. As a result, it has a moderate thickness while being surprisingly light and soft to the touch, achieving a comfort so great you'll forget you're wearing it.

Reliable Craftsmanship Maintained by a Small Factory

Aparaya is a knitwear brand founded in 2002 by a couple from South America who moved to the UK. Their workshop is located in Diggle village in Saddleworth, in the heart of the Pennine Mountains in England. This area has a tradition of textile manufacturing that has been alive for over 300 years. And in a family-run workshop in the suburbs of Birmingham, every step of the process is carefully carried out by hand.

Because it's a small factory, they can't produce a wide range of items. However, they have sincerely focused on each design, choosing only those that can be made and loved for a long time. The long-selling sweaters, which have been cherished for many years, are the culmination of their pride in creating sustainable and enduring products while cherishing traditional techniques.

A Choice That Cares for the Earth and People

Using 100% natural wool supports local farmers and utilizes one of the most sustainable fibers. Therefore, it is highly biodegradable, minimizes environmental impact, and possesses durability that allows for long-term use. It's also hand-washable, making home care easy and convenient.
With timeless designs unaffected by trends and comfort that remains unchanged over time, this high-quality piece, woven from British tradition, is an Aparaya knit that brings quiet richness to your daily wardrobe.
