Our collection doesn't follow fashion, but rather your needs. Find what really
suits you.

Die Strickware von John Crocket entsteht in einer Familienstrickerei in Schottland, aus drei Garnqualitäten: Lambswool und Geelong von der englischen Spinnerei Hinchliffe und Cashmere von Todd & Duncan. Das Sortiment reicht vom Pullover über Cardigans und Westen bis zu Strick-Accessoires.

Lambswool ist die robuste, formstabile Basis. Geelong ist eine besonders feine Merinowolle, weicher als Lambswool und haltbarer als Cashmere. Cashmere gibt es in mehreren Stärken, von 2-fädig für feine Pullover bis 6-fädig für Zopfmuster. Die volle Auswahl pro Material zeigen die eigenen Kollektionen für Pullover, Cashmere, Lambswool und Geelong.

Strickware wäscht man am besten nach etwa drei Tragetagen, von Hand bei maximal 30 Grad oder im Wollprogramm mit wenig Umdrehungen und flüssigem Wollwaschmittel. Anschließend flach auf einem Handtuch trocknen, nie im Trockner. Pilling ist bei Wolle und Cashmere normal, regelmäßiges Waschen lässt die Fasern sich wieder zusammenziehen und beugt ihm vor.

Durch das stark verzwirnte Garn hält die Strickware ihre Form und leiert bei normalem Gebrauch nicht aus. In unserem Geschäft in der Friesenstraße in Köln greifen sich Lambswool, Geelong und Cashmere deutlich unterschiedlich an, das lässt sich online nur beschreiben.

FAQ

What materials is the knitwear made of?
The knitwear is made of lambswool, Geelong and cashmere. The lambswool and Geelong yarns come from the English spinning mill Hinchliffe, the cashmere from Todd & Duncan. Knitting takes place in a family-run knitting mill in Scotland.
How do you wash knitwear properly?
Wash knitwear after about three days of wear, by hand at a maximum of 30 degrees or on the wool cycle at a maximum of 600 revolutions with a little liquid wool detergent. Dry flat on a towel, never in the tumble dryer.
What do the ply specifications mean for cashmere?
The number indicates how many individual threads are twisted together into one yarn. 2-ply is light and fine, 3-ply brings more substance, 6-ply is suited to cable patterns.
Does the knitwear pill?
Pilling is normal with wool and cashmere. Regular washing makes the fibres contract and prevents pilling, which is why knitwear should not be washed too infrequently.
