About Northern Watters Knitwear

Textile Manufacturing
1-10

In an age when most manufacturers strive to cut costs and improve efficiency it has become our goal to be about a hundred years behind the rest. While it might seem to be an odd achievement, it is the only way we know of fulfilling our main objective of being the highest quality maker of outdoor sweaters in the world.

It is no accident that our sweaters are often seen in major motion pictures set in the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries. Our level of craftsmanship is born of that era and since we make sweaters to last a lifetime it only makes good sense to create styles that endure as well.

Each of our garments are created by knitting fully fashioned panels by hand on antique Swiss knitting looms. Knitted panels are then assembled by point-by-point linking using the same yarn used to knit the sweater. Every sweater is then painstakingly hand finished to perfection. There is no cutting and, with the exception of buttons and labels, no sewing anywhere on our sweaters.

We are located in Prince Edward Island, Canada, a tiny province with a big reputation for traditional values and craftsmanship. We proudly present three of our own collections to you.

No sweater we make is complete until the hang tag has been signed by the knitter who actually made the garment. That signature is your guarantee that your sweater was crafted with care by one of the world's best knitters.

We are indeed, a hundred years behind the times. We wouldn't have it any other way.
