The Yaya Sweater combines comfort with contemporary style, featuring a distinctive double collar design that adds visual interest to your everyday wardrobe. Crafted from a premium blend of 91% cotton, 7% polyester, and 2% elastane, this piece offers breathability and gentle stretch for all-day wear. The natural kit beige tone is versatile enough to pair with virtually anything in your closet, making it an essential layering piece for transitional seasons. The elastane content ensures the sweater maintains its shape wash after wash, while the cotton-rich composition keeps you feeling comfortable throughout the day.
How It's Made
Our knitwear is created in our workshop in Westray and also in the homes of our many out workers. The pieces are knitted on domestic knitting machines and completed by linking or grafting by hand.
We are always mindful of the current trends. We visit shows annually, for inspiration and research to keep us up to date with current trends. This is also important for us, it maintains our motivation and our creative interests. It stops us standing still and constantly give us new and interesting challenges.
Our Inspiration
We are proud of our roots and have worked hard over the years to establish our brand with these values at the core of our work, drawing inspiration from soft muted tones and textures derived from the sky, sea and landscape of our home.
Our aim is to create classic garments with lasting appeal, ponchos, jackets, jumpers, snoods, wraps, wrist warmers and hats, timeless garments that can be worn year after year, evoking memories of our heritage and the people of our islands
We also take pride in our Nordic connection, which heavily influences the colours, styles and shapes of our products. Using natural and luxury yarns, we aim to create products which, whilst reflective of our island home, are equally at home anywhere in the world.
