The palette is part of the pattern
Colourways with a life of their own.
A sweater can change its whole feeling when the wool changes. These are the signature palettes of Philosopher’s Wool.
Each colourway gathers eight to thirteen colours into a palette that is considered, surprising, and ready to work with.
Choose the family that catches you. The same pattern can look entirely different when it is made in another one.
Start with a colour, then see what it teaches you.
The Philosopher’s Wool colourways have become a trademark in their own right. They are as important as the patterns: a quiet structure for making choices, and a way to see how one design can become many different sweaters.
