Audrey Horne's Tree Cardigan

In season one, episode one (1.001, Traces to Nowhere) Audrey Horne meets Special Agent Cooper for the first time. She approaches his table, wearing a memorable vintage cardigan whose unique pattern consists of repeated and overlapping bare-branched trees.

I first came across a cardigan by the same manufacturer a few years ago on eBay. The color was not a match, and, unfortunately, the price went beyond my budget. However, I was thankful the opportunity provided the possibility to locate a possible match.

I was inspired to make this post after reading several comments about Audrey's cardigan while participating in a Twin Peaks watch party hosted by Twin Peaks Unwrapped.


Audrey's cardigan may be from a company called Darlene Knitwear, inc. It appears to have been made in the early '60s. The label says Minklam by Darlene. So far, I've seen Minklam by Darlene and Angelon by Darlene, which apparently were the names given to their particular fiber blends. The tags say they are 'hand-screen print'.
