Jo Gordon

Jo Gordon commissioned her first knit as a teenager: a copy of a much-loved and much-darned hat that belonged to her dad. It was reproduced faithfully her by her mum’s friend, Vilma. Jo was 16 and in Scotland, it was cold. It looked perfect and worked beautifully. The hat had been reinvented. 

Jo's appreciation for good making has not changed. She loves things that are made honestly and function well. Wool is an honest, functional material and Scotland has a long history of making and producing the best knitwear in the world. Since she started, she has worked with mills that share her passion for tradition and craft. Often small, these manufacturers understand the importance of keeping their skills alive. They are the best at what they do and supply a quality and authenticity that is at the heart of what she produces.

Combined with her keen use of complex color and pattern on simple forms, Jo's pieces can be cool, sophisticated, sombre or frivolous. Jo Gordon knitwear is enduring and it's for everyone.
