Ethical Yarns & Timeless Knitting Patterns; Since 2017, our mission is to help knitting play a creative, calming, confidence-building and all round positive role in people’s lives by placing accessibility and sustainability at the forefront of everything we do. Our natural fibre bases are entirely cruelty free and certified and we took care to work with spinning mills that respects animals, humans and their surroundings, thus reflecting our own values as a company.

Authentic, accessible, sustainable and creative, our approach is both human and educational. It is based on step by step, detailed patterns and accessible to as many people as possible.

We create ethical yarn, unique patterns, and custom accessories to provide beginners and experts alike with all their crafting needs.

More info on the project coming soon....an example of what's possible below: Snow Drop Hat

EVENT: Hand-dyeing (Friday) and Tunisian Crochet (Saturday)- 2 day workshop
Hosts: Hand-dyeing - Sue Bamford (TBC) and Tunisian Crochet - Belinda Harris-Reid and Brenda Watson

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

For intermediate crocheters - an interesting technique to learn the technique; a two colour Tunisian crochet cowl. All materials for the workshop will be provided in your goodie bag; learn the technique and then move on to a Spiral Cushion Cover with frill knitted in chunky yarn.

For the cowl you’ll be able to use your hand-dyed yarn. We will dry it over-night (in our 32 degree or more boiler room) ready for you to cast-on your cowl on Saturday

If you want to make the cushion it takes 6 x chunky yarn (70m/100g) + 1 x chunky yarn (possibly contrast) - you can buy yarn to make this from Belinda's undyed yarn collection or you can bring your own. Sample crocheted for the main body of the cushion Puff (undyed superwash merino)and for the added frill Loopy Mohair (boucle kid mohair).

EVENT: Jeanette Sloan work on one of her designs
Host for two day workshop: Jeanette Sloan

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Colour is very important to me and my design process often begins with a search for an intriguing stitch that will inspire creative juices to flow or a decorative detail that will add a stylish, contemporary edge. I’ve worked as a freelance textile designer and tutor teaching both machine and hand knitting and as 'an accessories obsessive' have written 4 books on hand knitting. I’ve been very lucky to work with some of the best hand knitting brands in the UK and my designs have featured in several UK knitting magazines including Knitting Magazine where I am a regular contributor responsible for the ‘Ask Jeanette’ letters page, Yarn Reviews and A-Z of Techniques.

Jeanette is championing diversity and representation. She is actively bringing these vital and essential conversations to our attention.

She writes: […] there are those who will say that conversations like this are unnecessary and that bringing race or skin colour into knitting and craft is being divisive or perhaps even ‘political correctness gone mad’. To those people I would ask them to imagine not seeing themselves represented on the pages of the magazines and publications they read and thinking how that would make them feel. Unwelcome? Invisible? In some way ‘less than’?….

We are thrilled to be welcoming Jeanette to TKH.
