The Renewal Poncho was born from the yarn itself – a sumptuous blend of alpaca, silk and cashmere in shades of glowing scarlet, burnished gold and deep, smoky purple-grey – a colourway called Phoenix.

The colours felt alive from the first stitch, like embers glowing beneath ash with flames rising and dancing. It seemed only fitting to create a design that spoke of renewal and the quiet strength that rises again, just like the phoenix rising from the ashes.
