Curious and busy – these are the words that have always described me. I want to know all the things and then I want to do them. Since I was a very small child, I’ve loved art, literature, math, history and craft in equal measure. To me, designing knitwear marries all these many things. It’s where I feel like my most true self.

One of our all-time favorite (and desert island) yarns, De Rerum Natura's Ulysse is an incredibly soft woollen-spun yarn that shows texture - think cables and twisted stitches - beautifully and is perfect for everything from a cardigan for the newest tiny arrival in your family or a shawl for your great-grandmother.

NEEDLES
4 mm / US 6 circular needle with a cable length of at least 60 cm / 24” (or needle size to obtain gauge)
