Who would have thought the first machine I bought in 1980 from a local who did a house clearance was a Dubied MRH 5n hand flat, is still like new even after knitting garments for years for all the big local companies. Yes I think the most expensive garments were the Ballantyne Royce Shawl Collar Jacket exclusive to #Harrods retailing at a cool £1300, lost count how many have been made on it. I have two or three of these in different gauges, unfortunately rare but still used by the highly skilled handcrafted knitters of Innerleithen, the town where #Ballantyne was made but sadly not longer #InnerleithenTheRealHomeOfBallantyne #tradition #scotland #innerleithen #cashmere #makeitbritish #knitting #makeitscottish #makeitbritishlive #scottishborders #tweedvalley #hwtextiles #brenire #knittingmachineservices
