Natural Dyes, Dye Equipment and Accessories
CornishSara Knits
Passionate about handcrafting, I create unique and luxurious hand-knitted and beaded products using the finest natural yarns hand-dyed by artisan independent dyers.
From cozy scarves and exquisite wraps to delicate shawls, each item is a labour of love meticulously crafted with precision and attention to detail.
Inspired by my beloved Cornwall’s landscapes and coastline, every stitch tells a story, creating truly individual items to be treasured.
My name is Peter Hunt and I run a small mixed flock of Jacob and Shetland Sheep. I have a passion for good quality wool. I only breed from the best of both breeds. Sometimes I cross breed from either breed if I think I can improve on wool quality.
As well as producing wool, I tan my sheepskins. I believe regenerative agriculture is the future in terms of the environment and a sustainable return for the sheep farmer.
Sustainable, handcrafted sterling silver jewellery, crochet / knitting toollery – including sterling bodkins, snag-free stitchmarkers/keepers, needle tidies and tension guides ideal for Fair Isle/colourwork as well as standard yarnwork – see #HookerRing on social media.
Dawn believes beautiful, handmade jewellery shouldn’t cost the earth, so keeps pricing and ecological footprint to a minimum – using sustainable chemicals such as citric acid; vegan polishes; recycling all scrap; generating hydrogen gas using solar power in her Exeter home studio.
New silver has been certified eco-silver/recycled since 2016, gemstones are ethically sourced from within the UK, fully hallmarked in line with UK legislation
