A new Nielanell classic. This longer-line, merino wool cape is asymmetric and easy to wear.

Great over a long-sleeved T-shirt with trousers, leggings (or a skirt) – the Inklines long squint cape adds interest and elegance to a simple outfit.

One side of the cape is open, with an armscye (armhole) on the other side. This contemporary design gives the cape a distinctive silhouette. 

It’s a favourite with our team.

Pre-orders

Where indicated on the colourways, this piece is available to pre-order. We make up the garment especially for you and aim to dispatch it within eight weeks of your order. Find full information here.

Design details

When laid flat, the shape of the Inklines long squint cape is unexpected.

Knitwear designer Niela Nell Kalra often manipulates flat – and apparently simple – shapes to create drape and a fit that is personal to each wearer. 

The choice of yarn and the fabric construction contribute greatly to the overall look and feel of the finished, knitted cape. Natural drape and sheen given by the extra-fine merino yarn is combined with the weight of double-faced jacquard knit (without being overly heavy, this allows the cape to sit just right).

Sizing & fit

One size

Wear your cape to the left or the right as you choose – there is no true front or back.

  • A (neck): 35cm
  • B (neck to longest point): 88cm
  • C (width at widest point): 96cm

All knitwear is individually made, so measurements given are approximate.

Materials

  • 100% extra-fine merino wool (Oeko-Tex Standard 100)

Manufacture

We are committed to sustaining and being part of UK knitwear manufacturing – and Shetland’s place in this.

  • We design Nielanell knitwear in our Hoswick studio, with initial concepts carefully translated into the flat panels needed to make up each piece.
  • Currently, for this garment, we are working with specialist knitters in Mainland UK to make these panels.
  • The garment itself is made in Shetland. Our in-house team in Hoswick transforms the flat panels into a wearable piece of knitwear using linking (a skilled knitting process) and hand-finishing.
  • Our knitwear is made in very small batches, slowly. Each piece of Nielanell knitwear can take approximately 12-16 weeks (often longer) from weighing out the yarn needed in our studio to the garment being ready to wear.
Incised stones from the Ness of Brodgar excavation, Orkney. The marks were made using stone tools

Inspiration and design process: drawing time in knitwear

The Inklines textile design is taken from an ink drawing of time, inspired by a visit to the archaeological excavations at Ness of Brodgar, Orkney.

Working out the interaction between pattern and garment shape, with a card viewer stuck onto the screen!

A simple, inked 'timeline' has been developed to create a pattern of overlapping shapes and negative space—a response to the term deep time.

A classic for the kids in your family.
Format: Hardcover
This is a classic book of manners written for youngsters. I had a copy a copy when I was a child, read it to my children, gave it to my grandchildren and purchased this copy for my great grandchildren. Necessary lessons are presented simply with illustrations one won’t forget. The lesson I remember most is this: “Be kind to animals. They have feelings too.” Most highly recommend.

Great message that the kids listen to
Format: Hardcover
I love the message and my kids (3 and 5) find it credible and engaging, so it's a win all around. I find the illustrations (which are either done by a 5 year old or an adult as talented an artist as I am) painful but I give the text 6 out of 5 stars so when I take a star off for the over-the-top illustrations we're still at 5/5 ;) Kids who have greater access to exclusively modern media with intense graphics may not be able to relate to the material: the graphics are a big hurdle and the text is pretty dated too. I'm sure an updated version would be even more engaging for my kids but what it lacks in exciting, current graphics it makes up for in specificity and clarity for my two.

Entertaining and helpful lessons
Format: Hardcover
My family loves this book. Used to read it to my daughter as a young girl and now she’s a teen. We still talk about the lessons learned in this book! The characters and illustrations crack me up: Smash, rip and ruin taught us a lot! And the ones without hands and noses! I couldn’t believe how long ago this book was written when we got it- all lessons still applicable today.

... over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!
Format: Hardcover
I wasn't sure how this would go over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!! They always enjoy pulling it out and now I can refer back to the characters to remind them of their manners in a more positive way. The only thing is I kinda wish they had used a different animal than pig, since for some reason I don't like saying "don't be like the pigs" (since I don't really want them calling eachother or other kids pigs). But so far it has been fine :) It's also very nice they included "Be kind to animals, they have feelings too." We say that all the time around here since we have kitties. Also the part about table manners is great since we had already been teaching the kids to ask before being excused from the table.
