5 out of 5 starsThe quality is amazing! So soft, cozy and warm. I wear it to the stables every single day and I have found that with other headbands they can get quite itchy and uncomfortable but this one is sooo warm and comfy!! Linda was such a great help and quick to respond to my questions. 100% recommend.

4 out of 5 starsUnfortunately the colour is very wrong. I ordered nude or ice pink for my granddaughter but it has arrived as a baby pink. I am wearing it my self as it is lovely well made. I need to order another one for my granddaughter in a different colour.

5 out of 5 starsStarted my Christmas shopping early and couldn't be more pleased within one of my first purchases. This one is for a friend and I think I shall be ordering more for other friends and family. Good communication, quick delivery and a lovely homemade feel.

I'm passionate about reusing and repurposing. I am so excited about the new range made with repurposed yarn. Knits up like new but has a much lower carbon footprint. Headbands, Fingerless gloves, mini ponchos.

Frequently asked questions
What do you mean by repurposed yarn?
The items in my repurposed range have been made from yarn that was NOT bought new. So sourced from preloved stores, unfinished craft projects or from declutttering. Items are washed, unpicked and knitted up. The finished products look new, but have a much lower carbon footprint than new yarn.
I have a small head, will the headbands fit me?
The regular size fits most ladies, but if you know you need a small size for hats etc, I can offer a Petite ladies size. It is 2" shorter than the regular. This is also an excellent size for girls aged approximately 5-10 years.
Custom and personalised orders
Absolutely! I have made headbands in burgundy and orange to compliment a supermarket uniform. Also, a group of ladies going to Austrian for a holiday had a red and white Austrian flag design. Please message me and I would be please to do a custom order for you if I can.
Gift wrapping and packaging
How do you package the items? I use card postage boxes that are delivered by the postie through your letter box. I endeavour to keep internal packaging to a minimum to avoid waste.
So many colour choices, I can't decide which to go for! Can you help?
I would say the first question is do you want a neutral colour to blend in or a strong colour to stand out!
Also think about the coat you wear most often, and chose something that will match that.
I am very happy to have a conversation about colour choices in a message.
