Tom of Holland – Knitted Pencil Cases
One-off wool pencil cases, hand-knitted in one piece from Shetland wool in a traditional Sanquhar pattern. The interiors are lined with vintage Italian silk with a small Paisley print.
Sanquhar knitting is a distinctive form of Scottish knitting featuring two coloured patterns- developed in the late 1700s by the knitters in Sanquhar, near the Scottish Borders, to protect the local hand-knitting industry. Even though hand-knitting as a cottage industry died out during the 19th century, the tradition has continued.
Each pencil case has a tag with the exact pattern name on it. Some pattern names indicate a subtle variation in stitch pattern. Further information on exact stitching can be found here.
Exclusively available at The New Craftsmen, London.
