Tallow Moor Knits
A quiet green and wool coloured storefront for a knitter in Astoria who hand knits undyed gansey sweaters in the round, with no side seams.

The brief this store was built from
Tallow Moor Knits is one knitter and her brother working out of a former net loft above a boatyard in Astoria, Oregon. The wool comes from a single ranch of Columbia sheep near Heppner, spun undyed and left with some of its lanolin so it sheds a light rain. Each gansey is knit in the round on five steel needles from the hem up, with a textured yoke of cables and seed stitch and no side seams to split. One sweater takes about ninety hours, so the shop lists five or six at a time.

- Undyed Gansey Sweater, $265
- About it
- A hand knit fisherman sweater in undyed cream Columbia wool, worked in the round with a cable and seed stitch yoke and no side seams. The yarn keeps some of its lanolin, so it shrugs off drizzle on the dock and softens with every wear.
- Brand facts
- Every sweater is knit in the round on five steel needles, so there are no side seams. The wool is undyed Columbia fleece from one ranch near Heppner, Oregon, with some lanolin left in. One gansey takes about ninety hours to knit, and the shop lists five or six at a time.
- Style
- Conscious. Sustainable fashion — serif heading, wide outlined buttons
Who this theme is for
A clothing maker who sells a few garments made slowly: hand knits, hand sewn workwear, small runs of wool or linen. The Conscious preset sets a serif heading and wide outlined buttons on a warm off white, which suits a store where the fibre, the maker and the hours matter more than a sale banner. It fits a catalogue of one to thirty pieces that sell out and come back. It is the wrong pick for a fast fashion shop dropping fifty styles a week, since the calm layout has no room for size charts across dozens of colourways.
What was decided in the brief
A deep bottle green primary with a mustard accent on a pale warm ground. The sweater is undyed, so the store takes its colour from the harbour around it: the green of wet spruce on the headland and the ochre of an old oilskin, while the cream of the wool stays in the photographs. The three facts answer what a knitwear buyer checks before spending 265 dollars: how it is made, where the wool is from, and why only a handful exist. Ninety hours and one named ranch give the price a reason a shopper can repeat.

Questions
- Is this Shopify theme really free to download?
- Yes. You get a complete Shopify 2.0 theme ZIP and no account is needed. In your Shopify admin open Online Store, then Themes, then Add theme, then Upload zip file.
- How do I sell handmade clothing when I only have a few of each piece?
- Set the inventory for each product to the real count and let Shopify mark it sold out when it reaches zero. Add a short line in the description saying when the next batch is expected, so a shopper knows to come back instead of assuming the item is gone for good.
- Can I change the green to my own brand colour?
- Yes. Open the theme editor, go to Theme settings, then Colors, and change the primary colour. Buttons and headings that use it follow the setting, so one change repaints the store.
