Fiona Handcrafted Neolithic-Inspired Sustainable Quilted Gilet

The Fiona gilet is made using a new technique, a knitted quilt stitch, this was inspired by my research into Welsh quilts made in the 1930s. This quilt stitch is created on my hand flat knitting machine, using sheep’s fleece to fill the pattern. This swirling pattern is inspired by a Neolithic design from 3000BC, the time Sheep can be identified to of inhabited the British Isles.
