David Nieper launches first exclusive knitwear range

Derbyshire fashion house David Nieper has this season launched its first collection dedicated exclusively to luxury knitwear. The company has been making knitwear in Derbyshire for over 6 years as part of their luxury day wear range. Growing popularity and demand for British knitwear has prompted them to create a brand new exclusive knitwear collection, offering more classic and contemporary styles and in a wider selection of colours - from soft neutrals to vibrant colour blocks. In 2011, HRH Princess Anne officially switched on the first knitwear machines in Derbyshire, putting David Nieper at the forefront of the revival of the British knitwear industry.  The launch of David Nieper’s knitwear range coincided with the fashion industry’s move away from mass produced, synthetic products in favour of authentic knitwear in natural fibres. This, combined with the famous ‘Sheep pasture in Saville Row’ campaign by UK Campaign for Wool, a movement championing and extolling the benefits of natural yarns, has significantly boosted the UK’s knitwear industry this decade, and as a designer making authentic knitwear from first sketch to final stitch in the UK, David Nieper has never looked back. The current knitwear collection features over 70 different styles in sizes 10-24, all crafted by a team of 12 specialists. Luxury Lambswool, Merino and Cashmere sourced from sustainable stocks are the staple yarns of the knitwear collection, which are skillfully spun into a range of contemporary designs and classic styles.  Where possible the design team works with local suppliers including our Lambswool and Geelongora yarns which are sourced from Yorkshire.                                                         Read More
