Notions

Lovely little things, notions. Shiny, sparkly, jingly, dangly: pretty little pieces of jewellery for your knitting. You can't knit without them.

We source our notions from small businesses. Well, tiny businesses. Work-at-home-mums doing their bit to earn a little extra for themselves and their families. You can't get much more ethical than that.

Some of our notions makers use recycled materials. Second-hand necklaces for sparklies and beads and gems to shine on your needles. A treasured vintage bridesmaid's dress for the silk organza pouches. And old ballet costumes for ribbon. Reuse, reduce, recycle.

These are all one-offs. You see something you like, grab it quick, because there won't be another one. Have an old necklace that you'd like turning into markers? Drop me an email and we'll talk.
