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

Could amalgamate with October 22nd to 26th event TBC

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

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.
