“Handmade handsome”
A tweedy, hand-knit tie makes a great gift for the relaxed—yet refined—gentleman or lady. Knit in the round, this Necktie is cleverly shaped to narrow around the neck and widen towards the ends, with one end a little wider than the other. A gentle nod to rustic-chic, it’s the perfect way to showcase your self-striping sock yarn where you can see it!

We knit the Necktie in a self-striping sock yarn—Regia 4ply Tweed Color. This sturdy blend of wool and polyamide plays with bands of color, with occasional tweedy flecks popping in. The tightly plied structure gives great shape retention—just right for the ingenious shaping of our tie!

GAUGE
