A Sweater to Get Out of Bed For

When most people envision knitting, they often picture a cozy scene — a rocking chair by the fire and a grandparent creating yet another scratchy woollen item. While endearing, this image can overshadow the evolution of knitting as a creative and sustainable art form.

At NZ Charly, we’ve reimagined knitwear. Our pieces blend nostalgic warmth with modern design and sustainability. Each garment is crafted from luxurious fibres like ZQ-certified Merino, Possum, and Cashmere blends, using a zero-waste WholeGarment™ knitting process. No cutting. No seams. No waste. Just thoughtful, comfortable fashion made to last.

Getting Dressed Should Feel Good

We all know the feeling — the alarm rings, the world is cold, and your bed is warm. Finding the motivation to get dressed can feel like a chore. That’s what inspired me to create knitwear that you’ll genuinely look forward to wearing — pieces that feel like a soft hug while looking effortlessly put together.

Knitwear That Sparks Joy

Our designs are based on the idea of a keepsake sweater — something once handcrafted by someone you love, tied to memory and meaning. Every NZ Charly knit is made to evoke that same feeling. Inspired by past travels, moments with family, and my favourite places in Aotearoa, each colour and style holds a story. Getting dressed becomes less about routine, and more about self-expression and comfort.

Sustainability You Can Feel

NZ Charly is about more than warmth — it’s about responsibility. We use natural, biodegradable fibres. Our seamless Shima Seiki WholeGarment™ technology means no scraps, no landfill waste. Leftover yarn? We repurpose it into beanies, socks, and repair kits. It’s all part of our circular approach to slow fashion.

Let’s change how we approach our wardrobes. Choose clothing that feels like home. Wear garments that carry meaning. Make getting dressed the coziest, most joyful part of your day.
