How our SISKIN knitwear is made

Designed in London 

Each knitwear design begins in our London studio, where the SISKIN team draws inspiration from childhood memories, historic knitwear pattern books and everyday favourites. We create timeless pieces that celebrate the beauty of our yarns and the expertise of our makers, with every detail thoughtfully considered, from the depth of a cuff to the finishing of a label.

Once a design earns its place in the collection, we revisit it in new colours and yarns, creating pieces to return to season after season. This considered approach means fewer samples, less waste and a reduced shipping footprint.

All of our wool is chosen for its natural warmth and feel, sourced from suppliers we know and trust, who meet our high animal welfare standards. It’s then spun into yarn by specialist makers before making its way to Scotland.

Made with care in Scotland

In Scotland, our trusted, family-run knitwear maker brings each piece to life. With generations of experience, they combine traditional craftsmanship with modern knitting technology to create knitwear designed to be worn and loved for years to come.

Knitted in one piece

Using whole-garment knitting technology, each piece of SISKIN knitwear is knitted in a continuous form, rather than in separate panels that are sewn together afterwards.

The result is a softer, more comfortable fit, with no traditional side seams. It also means less yarn waste during production, as fewer offcuts are created in the making process.

Craft and technology, working together

There is a great deal of skill involved before a jumper or cardigan is even knitted. Each design must be carefully programmed, with its shape, sizing and construction considered in detail. It takes specialist knowledge and experience to understand how the yarn will behave and how best to bring a design to life.

The knitting machines are highly sophisticated, but human touch remains essential. From programming and monitoring each design as it is made, to hand finishing, pressing and quality checks, every stage requires a trained eye and a careful hand. It is this balance of traditional experience, technology and attention to detail that gives SISKIN knitwear its character.

Made in Scotland, with care at every stage, these are pieces to return to season after season.
