Brown can often be relegated to the ‘autumn’ box of colours, but actually it can be incredibly summery. We’ve gone for a cool shade reminiscent of the dry bare earth underneath tree canopies and the dancing heads of ribwort flowers under hawthorn hedges. It helps to bring out the blue tones in the glasto warp. […]

This copper weft is our spindrift hemp, grown and spun in Europe but dyed for us in Lancashire. It is grown using sustainable methods. Its natural mildew and microbial resistance means that it can be grown organically without reliance on chemicals. Our supplier uses traditional, mechanical methods rather than chemical processing to grow and process the hemp yarn […]
There is something about this wrap that makes me want to prance about in the fields by our house. I imagine that blue tits would braid my hair as I skipped in the sunlight. This elven fantasy may be in part fuelled by our current bedtime reading of Enid Blyton’s classic “The Enchanted Wood”, but I imagine […]
Undine Glasto Seafoam is an elements weave wrap woven in 100% combed cotton with dual coloured weft. The passes glide effortlessly for a snug, moulded carry and the elements weave makes it an incredibly hardwearing wrap. A medium weight wrap suitable for all ages. Available now in our shop, here
Our Spindrift (hemp) Twilight Seafoam proved such a hit as a sort of ‘classic‘ firespiral that we wanted to create a counterpart timeless starmap in our original silver and twilight colour way; something that celebrates all that linen has to offer. This time we chose to make a thicker weight wrap that despite its weight still embodied […]
Last summer we released Eclipse Obsidian Seafoam, and we knew straight away that we had to revisit those sparkling weft colours in some form on our Twilight warp. There are some notable differences between Eclipse and the new Deep Ocean Seafoam. This new weft is dual coloured as the eclipse was, but is 100% combed cotton. […]
It is a good while since we last released a cashmere blend wrap. We have not found a direct supplier of cashmere to date who can demonstrate the level of ethical assurance that we would require to make cashmere a standard line. We currently use surplus yarn, spun in the UK for a clothing company who […]
Given that this wrap is quite different to our others I thought it might be interesting to have some more information about how it handles. I’d washed this wrap once (I think it needs another wash to get the wool properly out of loomstate) and it hadn’t been broken in or worn. I think you […]
This wrap has a unique feel to it; chunky and quite dense at 370gsm, but with plenty of diagonal stretch and movement still. It is one of the thicker wraps we’ve made and definitely wraps shorter as a result, although you will gain more length as it breaks in. As with all our wraps, the […]
Moss is such a beautiful wrap, but it is incredibly hard to capture it accurately; some colours just seem to allude the camera and look washed out or greyed. The merino/cotton weft is a more saturated ‘mossy green’ than it appears, with flecks of paler colour throughout. It has a wonderful drape and is the […]
