You’ll have your choice of colours to personalise each piece – from coastal calm to festive bright. And to complete the experience, you’ll also receive a handmade soap to pair with your finished cloth. Together, they make a gift that’s practical, pampering and made straight from the heart.

Linda was taught how to knit by her mum when she was eight years old and encouraged by both her Nonnas to keep her hands busy. Knitting, crochet, embroidery and sewing where all a part of her life from a young age. After a break from crafting Linda came back to it, and knitting in particular, with a vengeance! Shawls, jumpers, cardigans, socks, colourwork, lace, cables, accessories - she wants and does knit all the things! Linda enjoys helping many knitters and crocheters decipher tricky patterns and learn new techniques at our regular Tuesday morning clinic. She has oodles of patience for beginners and is excited to welcome newcomers to our much loved craft.
