For centuries, fishermen have worn iconic navy blue sweaters, knitted by loved ones at home, to keep them warm and, relatively, dry. But, the guernsey is more than a blue knitted jumper. It's a uniform created by need and necessity, crafted with immense skills and care. 

This heritage illustration breaks down the language of the significant jumper hailing from the Channel Islands. Whether you're a knitter looking to infuse your next project with meaning, or a lover of maritime history, this map is the key to the archives.
