Hi, I’m Ria!
I’m a knitwear designer-maker, that specialises in working with local wool. I’m also a natural dyer, and dye all of the yarn for my brand using plants I’ve grown in my North Somerset garden.
Alongside my knitwear practice, I teach workshops (in-person and online) in natural dyes, dye plant growing and machine knitting. In 2023 my first book ‘Dyeing Yarn Naturally’ was published by the Crowood Press.
I also work with private clients and research organisations, providing natural dyeing consultancy, dyeing and design services.
