The Eribé Westray Cardigan Huntley shows just how interesting a subtle colour palette can be. The soft sand-beige base is crossed with warm bands of orange, ochre, taupe, cream and muted light blue. These shades blend effortlessly into one another, giving the cardigan a natural, almost time-worn beauty.

Small knitted-in motifs and fine bands of colour alternate throughout the cardigan. The bright orange gives Huntley just the right amount of energy, while ochre and warm brown tones add depth. The cooler light-blue accents keep the overall look fresh. As a result, the cardigan remains calm in appearance, yet reveals a surprising amount of detail up close.

It is precisely these soft colours that make Huntley so versatile. Pair the cardigan with dark denim for a beautiful contrast, with ecru or cream for a light tonal look, or with camel and cognac to bring out the warmer shades. Trousers in dark brown or olive green also work beautifully with the natural colour palette.

The genuine horn buttons reinforce the artisanal character of the cardigan. Each button naturally varies slightly in colour and pattern, giving the finishing its own individual touch. Striped details at the cuffs and hem provide a subtle, playful finish.

The Eribé Westray Cardigan Huntley is knitted from 100% Shetland wool. This wool is known for its lightweight warmth and distinctive texture. It feels slightly firmer and more authentic than smooth merino wool, and that is precisely what gives the intricate colourwork even more depth.

Wear the Eribé Westray Cardigan Huntley buttoned up when you want the knit to take centre stage, or open over a simple top for a more relaxed look. A cardigan for women who love distinctive knitwear and soft colours that never become boring.

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.
