Mrs Pitcher's hand held narrowing combBackground

K.F.Knitwear is a small firm based in a modern industrial unit in Guildford, producing cricket sweaters for most British cricket clubs. Cable stitch patterns are produced by means of a three-pronged narrowing comb, the method which was devised by Mrs. Pitchers of Godalming in the 1890s.
