Knitwear & Natural Dye Commissions
-
Fernhil Farm
An ongoing relationship with local regenerative farm Fernhill Farm. I am contracted to dye their farm-grown knitwear to commission using natural dyes foraged from the farm.
I also produce knitted textiles using their yarn sold to them on a wholesale basis, and provide natural dyeing workshops.

Wool Decanted
I was approached by British wool yarn company Wool Decanted to develop a range of of machine knitted textiles using their yarn. This involved design and production work.
Later I was also consulted on producing samples for a naturally dyed yarn collection.
-
Alpaca Knitwear
A private knitwear commission using the clients’ own alpaca yarn.
I created several jumpers to my own design, and recreated some much loved pieces of family kniwear. I also made lots of knitted accessories for family gifts.

Weld Jumper
A recreation of a favourite jumper of textile designer Daphne Roach.
Made using Shetland-Romney lambswool from Fernhill Farm, dyed with weld from my garden.
