Featured pieces
How each piece is made
no machines, just two needles
Choosing the yarn
Soft, hard-wearing fibres picked for how they feel against skin and how they wash.
Casting on
Every piece starts as a single row of loops on the needle, knitted by hand.
Knitting it up
Hours of stitches, row by row. Larger pieces can take days.
Blocking and finishing
Washed, shaped and dried flat, ends woven in, then wrapped for posting.

The hands behind the stitches
Every piece in this shop is knitted by hand, one stitch at a time, by Heleen Rose. The shop is named after the people she knits for first: Bella, Summer and the Rose family. Each item is made in small numbers from yarns chosen for softness and wear, then washed, blocked and finished by hand before it is posted to you.
