How this works

I make colour block jumpers from hardy British wool, for life outside. I make four colour-ways every year and I take orders once a month between September and May, when I close for a few months. If you sign up to My Life in the Wind (it’s my newsletter and it’s free) you will find out everything you need to know about these jumpers and more. Sign up here.

Why I make them

I started making jumpers for my children when I couldn’t find any warm wool jumpers that were made from British wool and were not covered in dinosaur print or made from polyester. I had such a lot of demand to make adult ones too - and this has been my full time job ever since.

I make only a few colour ways every year and my range is deliberately small and limited - there is quite enough choice in clothing out there on the internet! My hope is that my wool wear will keep you warm and dry, show a bit of flair (with the colour-blocking) and last for a long time.

My Life in the Wind

I am most active on my newsletter. I send it weekly between September and May. It’s the best way to find out when the shop opens but is also where I write. About things like style, motherhood, sustainable fashion, work. It is popular and I have been urged to move it to Substack but for now, it’s here and there is no paywall. Sign on up, I won’t bombard you.

The wool I use

I use two types of British wool. I make two jumpers/colour-ways out of Shetland wool - this is thick, sturdy and totally weatherproof. The other two jumpers/colour-ways (and the tank tops) are made from thinner British wool - this wool is perfect for layering. I am very committed to British wool - it is not as soft as merino or lambswool but it stands up to a lot of wear without complaint, gets softer with use and it keeps the weather out.
