Accessorising this Autumn with Organic Merino

If you believe the recent news reports, it looks like a cold winter will soon be heading our way (I have even seen predictions of snow for October in some reports. While it might be too early to tell for certain, according to our sales and support team, you, our customers, are already preparing for the cold snap by stocking up on winter woollies and sheepskin coats.

This week I revitalised my winter wardrobe and dusted off my sheepskin boots although, if truth be told, they were never very far back in my wardrobe after the summer we have had! While in Cornwall I am not quite at the stage of wearing a coat yet, I am about to start wearing a few knitted accessories to add a top layer on cooler days. I think that a knitted beanie provides just enough protection to keep the rain away (and it’s easier to store than an umbrella!) and arm-warmers are a brilliant alternative to gloves if you like to keep your fingers free. Teamed up with a brilliant pair of boot-warmers and maybe a snood to keep the chill off your neck, knitted accessories add a stylish finishing touch to an autumnal outfit.

As those of you who have seen our catalogue will know, we have plenty of knitted accessories to choose from. Our Organic Merino Accessories are pictured in our Autumn 2011 catalogue but the full range can currently only be found on our website so for those of you who have seen them yet, I thought you might like to see the designs in more detail;

The Organic Merino Accessories range is available in two stitch designs, Cable and Pointelle…

Both designs are available in three colours, Bitter Chocolate, Light Grey and Silver as a Slouchy Beanie, Armwarmers and Bootwarmers and the Pointelle Range also includes a Snood. As well as creating a top-to-toe accessories ‘look’ using all pieces in the same colour, I like the idea of mixing and matching pieces in different colours to coordinate with a variety of outfits. As the Organic Merino Accessories are available as separates rather than as a set it’s up to you how many of each style you pick. These designs also make ideal gifts.

I can reveal that the Organic Merino Accessories will be featured in our Winter 2011 catalogue which will be sent out around the end of October. With our knitted accessories always proving to be very popular, I would advise going online now to ensure that there are still plenty left in stock for you to choose your favourites.
