Working with the wool from my flock of rare breed British sheep, I design and make a range of limited edition, artisan homewares and lifestyle products that combine contemporary design, quality craftsmanship and true provenance.

Passionate about traceability I produce beautiful textiles products for the home that can be followed from design, through production and right back to my flock of sheep that graze the Cotswolds countryside. My happy sheep grow a new fleece every year, which I have processed at a specialist woollen mill in Cornwall. I then knit with the yarn in my studio, using a hand powered knitting machine, to create very special pieces with real provenance. For more information about my products you can have a good nosey around my online shop or contact me.

Handwoven blankets

Perfect for picnics or snuggles

After my sheep's fleeces are processed into a yarn perfect for making woven fabric, these beautiful, soft blankets are handwoven for me on Dartmoor. Designed with traditional herringbone and a bespoke tweed the natural cream and brown is given a contemporary twist when combined with the organically dyed turquoise. Click to see more
