About Sandwith.studio
Sandwith.Studio is an independent knitwear brand based in Stockport, Manchester, run by Manchester School of Art graduate, Eve Taylor.
After graduation in 2022, Eve found there was a lack of independent knitwear brands in the north, particularly in Manchester, that focussed on ethical and sustainable design. Eve then set out creating Sandwith.studio to help rebuild Manchesters textile industry, focussing on traditional hand-crafted techniques to create wearable designs for the everyday.
Every item from Sandwith. Studio is crafted in Manchester, using a blend of traditional and modern knitting techniques and yarns sourced from local suppliers.
How we make your knits
Craft is at the forefront of Sandwith.studio. Each piece is made in-house in our Stockport studio, combining industrial machine knitting with traditional hand-finishing techniques.
We use an industrial knitting machine to create our pieces, with each knit programmed in-house. Once knitted, every piece is carefully linked, finished and checked by hand. This means that while the machine allows us to create more considered shapes and small production runs, there is still a hands-on process behind every garment.
We predominantly use natural fibres, with the only exception being a small amount of elastane used in our Ripple Bags for added durability.
Our yarns are sourced from British businesses, including lambswool spun in Yorkshire and cotton spun in Lancashire.
