This lightweight hood piece is a tribute to the historic mill town of Bingley, nestled in the heart of the Aire Valley. For generations, Bingley was a vital heartbeat of the West Yorkshire textile industry, famous for its towering stone mills and its mastery of spinning fine worsted yarns.

Just as the town’s heritage was built on providing warmth and protection through expert craftsmanship, this hood is designed to be a practical, sturdy, and stylish shield against the elements. Its structured yet comfortable silhouette is a nod to the functional “working woollens” that once came off the local looms, updated for the modern wardrobe. Whether you’re hiking or city styling, the Bingley Hood offers a cozy layer of heritage-inspired warmth and a sophisticated piece of Yorkshire’s industrial history you can wear every day.

Knitted on 8mm circular needles with two strands of Hjertegarn Lima and Hjertegarn Silk Kid Mohair held together.

This is a one knit piece with no sewing involved.
