Whitby Fisherman's Turtleneck Sweater

Whitby on the Coast.

On the wall beside his desk, the corner of an old hemp sail, meticulously hand-stitched by his great-grandfather and saved by the family for the sake of not losing things to time. 

He went another way, building ships, but not before his grandfather taught him how to sew a corner ring to a sail.

The art of threading a sturdy needle through waxed canvas. Pushing it through with the leather sail palm. Pliers to pull it clear on the other side.

“There, you’ve done it, lad.”

Side by side in the boat yard, wearing sweaters like this one.
