Embroidery transforms knitwear - Gisela is the sweetest shape cardigan all on its own, but embroidered, it becomes a real heirloom and a celebration of colour, flowers and art! Knit in pieces and seamed together, this darling cardi is knitted in Baby Cashmerino, which is deliciously soft next to young skin (and machine washable!) Gisela is part of Debbie Bliss’ Folklore collection, which was designed to celebrate Debbie’s passion for the textiles of Russia and Eastern Europe - and we love it!
