Yorkshire Textiles

Following time spent travelling across the world sourcing fabrics for some of the UK biggest clothing retailers, I had a real desire to return home to find and work with local mills based in Yorkshire.

Thankfully there are still a lot of textile mills producing amazing cloth right on our doorstep. With this and inspiration from the women in our family who had spent their lives working in the rag trade in Ossett, West Yorkshire, our own story began with Rag Makers.

Fiddleheads

Our Fiddlehead collection is the second from our Offcuts series. A family of decorative woollen pots, made using offcuts of our Stanningly cloth and our stock of yarns, which have been knitted into soft cords.

The decorative patterns are inspired by a personal love of ferns, plants that surround us in our local landscape as well as in my own garden and home where I have an ever-growing collection. I love the slow but dramatic unfurling of the new fronds in spring, the striking display of tightly wound fiddleheads – slowing opening into intricate, delicate leaves.
