OUR STORY
We are a small craft concern based in North Devon specialising in handmade items created on knitting looms as well as crocheted creations. Loom knitting is an unusual craft in the UK and there is an unusual back story...
A few years ago Abbi was seriously injured in a car crash, resulting in nearly 3 months in hospital. Would you fancy squeezing a clothes peg for hours on end? Searchin
g for an activity that would stave off the boredom of a long recovery as well as be good exercise, she discovered knitting looms. The repetitive motion proved to be not only excellent physiotherapy, but also calming and meditative – so much so that Ro took up the craft as well. A hurricane of hats resulted, until we began to experiment with more interesting items. Then came the challenge of what to do with everything before our husbands were completely buried in our woolly wonders. Everything we make is unique. We base our designs on patterns from various sources, but each item is personalised in some way – we have enormous fun choosing yarns and trying out new stitches and techniques! We make items to order and also sell at local craft fairs, and we welcome contacts to discuss requirements in detail. Allow plenty of time for special orders - loom knitting is a slow process and we don’t do it full time, so we can’t produce overnight!
