1970s | Hand Knit | Bobble Cable Wool Sweater – Oatmeal - S

Description:

Item: 1970s hand-knit wool sweater in an oatmeal tone, featuring heavy cable work and raised bobble detailing throughout. Thick, substantial knit with a classic crew neckline, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a slightly longer, cosy silhouette typical of 1970s handknits. Strong texture and depth across the whole piece, with a proper artisanal, one-off feel.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Hand knit

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest wear. Wool remains thick and even with no holes, thinning or repairs. Cables and bobbles remain well-defined; ribbing intact and holding shape.

Provenance note: This is the kind of hand-knit that modern brands spend a fortune trying to recreate, then still can’t quite match. The cable work is dense and confident, the bobbles give it real three-dimensional character, and the oatmeal colour keeps it timeless rather than novelty. A proper 1970s artisan knit built for cold winters and long ownership, with the sort of texture that makes an outfit on its own.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
