I started in 2007 with my husband specialising in hand made bespoke items of clothing for people who want to buy something special for babies. Now my husband has gone out to work and I am concentrating on jumpers and hats for grown ups, although I still do the odd thing for little people.I make everything I sell myself, by hand. It takes ages!

Work in progress
The latest jumper, inspired by the rocks, mosses and lichens where I live
Hi, love the colours on this one. I was wondering where you get your yarn? Im not from the UK, but sometimes I visit and last time I went I searched for yarn in shops in Oxfordshire and was disappointed by the selection and prices in the shops I went to. Do you have any suggestions where to check for wool, online or physical, anywherein the UK? thanx alot and keep up the good work :)
Hi! I get yarn from lots of people and places, often ends of projects. My favourite place to buy yarn is Colinette yarns, they are based in Wales and have a website. The yarns are beautiful and hand dyed. This jumper has some bits of Shetland wool (online again), some Rowan bits and some eyelash yarn from a wool shop in Shrewsbury. ebay can be good for people selling off mixed bags of yarn. Sadly yarn is expensive :( As you don't need a huge amount of any particular yarn you could ask friends for their oddments? Good luck with it! Michelle x
