About Us

isobel & cleo was born in Glasgow, Scotland of a fervent desire to sustain traditional hand knitting and hand manipulated machine knitting techniques through producing beautiful knitwear. Now based in the USA, we use the finest yarns and materials from around the world including the US, the UK, Italy, Japan, and Australia. Our team creates the entire collection by hand using organic and sustainable yarns. Our work has been recognized by Elle Magazine, Vogue, and numerous regional publications and blogs. The line has won grants, awards, and honorable mentions from The Scottish Arts Council, Charleston Fashion Week, and the Ecco Domani Fashion Fund and has been worn in shows such as The Good Wife and The Good Fight, and HBO's The Staircase.

In addition to our collection we also offer group and private hand and machine knitting workshops both in the US and abroad. For more information please contact us.
