FROM FLOCK TO SHOP
Contemporary knits handmade for a sustainable wardrobe and home. Unmistakable provenance and authenticity.
Working with the wool from my flock of rare breed British sheep, I design and make a collection of contemporary knits for the sustainable home and wardrobe. Passionate about traceability, my textiles can be followed through the making process right back to my flock of sheep grazing the Cotswolds countryside. My happy sheep grow a new fleece each year, which I have spun into yarn at a small woollen mill in the South West of England. I then knit with these yarns in my studio using a hand-powered knitting machine, to create very special pieces with unmistakable provenance and authenticity.
