JENYA WOOLENS
DESIGNED TO WEAR
You have reached the home of bespoke, exquisitely crafted knitwear. In each collection you’ll find a range of unique machine-knitted and hand-framed styles. Each piece is lovingly made with slow fashion, self-expression and timeless style in mind, whether it be a snuggly jumper to layer up in on cold days, a versatile cardigan to throw on over your favourite t-shirt or a stylish winter accessory to keep you cosy and finish off your look.
WOOL APPRECIATION
With sustainability at the core of our business, all knitwear is made from 100% natural fibres and materials. We endeavour to use recyclable packaging where possible to minimise our carbon footprint.
OUR PROCESS
After our products are expertly knitted, we use a process known as "fulling" to enhance the soft texture and cosiness your item.
As heat, moisture, and agitation are applied to wool fabric, the microscopic scales on wool fibre are locked together, causing the fabric to shrink. As with wool felt, variations in heat, moisture, agitation and even the breed of sheep will determine how much the fabric shrinks. With fabric, though, another factor comes into play - how tightly the fabric was knitted, crocheted, or woven. A loose and open fabric has more room for the fibers to move around, meaning more agitation is possible, and therefore more shrinkage is possible. A tight, dense fabric, on the other hand, doesn't have much space for the individual fibers to move, making shrinkage less likely (but still possible).
Our understanding of the nuances and potential of wool fibre, combined with creative flair, allows us to use these variations in technique to craft the beautiful garments on offer in our store.
