Warm rust and earthy tones immediately set the mood of the Eribé Westray Cardigan Ferris. Rust brown takes the lead, surrounded by olive green, camel, sand, chocolate brown and small dark accents. Together they create a warm, layered colour palette that pairs beautifully with natural materials and understated autumn shades.

Fine knitted-in patterns alternate across the entire cardigan. There is no single large motif demanding attention; instead, ever-changing bands of colour keep the design lively. Up close, you continue to discover new combinations, while from a distance the overall look remains beautifully calm and harmonious.

That also makes Ferris particularly easy to wear. With dark denim, the cardigan takes on a strong, everyday look. Ecru or cream brings more light to the warm shades, while olive green, cognac or camel beautifully emphasise the natural colours in the knit. Even a simple pair of black trousers instantly gains more character with this cardigan.

The genuine horn buttons suit the earthy look perfectly. The natural variations in the horn also give the finishing a slightly individual touch. Striped trims at the cuffs and hem add a playful contrast without disturbing the calm feel of the colour palette.

The Eribé Westray Cardigan Ferris is knitted from 100% Shetland wool. This characterful wool provides pleasant warmth without feeling heavy and has a slightly more robust, natural texture that suits the rich knit of the Westray series beautifully.

Wear the Eribé Westray Cardigan Ferris buttoned up and let the patterns take centre stage, or open over a simple top for a more relaxed look. A cardigan in which colour, material and Scottish knitting craftsmanship find exactly the right balance.

The story behind the Eribé Westray
When Rosemary Eribé founded her knitwear label in the Scottish Borders in 1986, she had a clear mission: to preserve Scotland’s rich knitting traditions while leading them into the future.

The Westray Cardigan is perhaps the purest example of this vision. Rosemary drew inspiration from the island community of Westray, one of the northernmost Orkney islands. This remote place represents centuries of knitting heritage: rugged landscapes, warm Shetland wool, and patterns passed down through generations.

With the Westray, Rosemary wanted to pay tribute to that tradition. She chose 100% Shetland wool – strong, warm, and enduring – just as the islanders wore to withstand the harsh winds of the North Sea. The patterns are rich and intricate, a tribute to the Fair Isle technique, but with a modern fit and colours designed for today’s woman.

The horn buttons were deliberately chosen: they emphasise the artisanal spirit and recall a time when clothing was made entirely from natural materials.

For Rosemary, the Westray is not merely fashion, but a bridge between past and future. This cardigan preserves the stories of Scottish communities and shares them with a new audience worldwide. Wearing a Westray means carrying a piece of history and craftsmanship – a true homage to Scotland and its people.
