100% pure wool sweaters & hats. Hand-framed & fully linked

Great Northern Knitters is a Prince Edward Island Corporation
involved with the design, development, manufacture and marketing
of high quality, fully- fashioned wool and cotton sweaters. The
company is quickly building a reputation as the highest quality
sweater maker in North America.

The company was formed in 1987 for the purpose of purchasing the
assets and operations of British Woolen Knitters Canada Ltd., a
nine year old knitting operation on Prince Edward Island. Great
Northern Knitters produces some of the highest quality knitted
garments in the world. The main production line is a range of
heavy gauge traditional sweater styles and accessories like hats
and mittens. Woolen yarns are imported from Great Britain and are
the highest quality oiled yarns available anywhere. Great
Northern Knitters is the only hand loomed, fully fashioned, fully
linked and fully hand finished operation existent in North
America. Unlike most knitting operations which knit yardage of
material on automated machinery and then cut to shape and sew,
each Great Northern Knitters' garment is knit fully to shape on
hand operated Swiss Dubied knitting looms.

All increases and decreases on the panel are achieved by adding
or removing yarns from the needles by hand as they are knit. All
panels are then linked together using the same yarns used to knit
the garments. Great care is taken to hand finish each garment.
Although significantly more labour intensive, the resulting
product is of unsurpassed quality and will literally provide the
wearer with a lifetime of enjoyment.
