Mara - Mock Rib Jumper Pattern by Debbie Bliss & Chloé Elizabeth Birch

West Yorkshire Spinners

£3.75

With a simple minimalist look, neat mock rib and stylish drop sleeves, the round-neck Mara jumper is a joy to knit and wear. Knit using Fable Brushed Aran with its blend of Falkland wool, alpaca and mohair, the fabric offers a light halo and a gentle drape. Construction techniques include ‘wrap and turn’ short rows for shaping and a three-needle cast off for a smooth and stable seam, making this pattern suitable for intermediate knitters or advanced beginners looking to step up their skills.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as WEST YORKSHIRE SPINNERS LIMITED, number 03306556. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "From carding and combing to spinning and dyeing, the majority of our processes are carried out within a 20-mile radius of our in-house facilities in Keighley, Yorkshire." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Foreign-owned
Majority ownership sits in Finland, with Novita Group Oy. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
