As we enter the depths of winter, there’s no prospect more appealing than bundling up in a handmade, ultra-warm wool blanket. When the time comes for us to leave our cosy nests to brave howling winds and freezing temperatures, you won’t catch us on the move without a matching set of knitted gloves, a bobble hat, and an oversized scarf.
High-quality knitwear is, however, an investment. From wonderfully insulating merino wool to luxurious cashmere, the price of winter-ready knits is only getting higher. Yet an unexpected, money-saving trend has woven its way into the fabric of Gen Z. Teens across the globe are following in the footsteps of the older generation by picking up knitting needles and crochet hooks.
