Love Hearts grew out of my love for early Fair Isle knitting Peerie patterns. Small but powerful and playful repetitive patterns which I had great fun placing between the classic OXO design and my own Love Heart, simply because we need more Love in the world right now.

I have always been passionate about regenerative farming and sheep, especially Scottish-grown rare-breed sheep with exceptional fleece. Imagine my delight when Rachel Crawford from Balmerino Farm visited to offer me the bulk of her clip of outstanding Bowmont Merinos from her regenerative farm just a few miles away. Working with one of my favourite Mills, Laxtons, in Yorkshire, we have created a partnership to make each year a collection of limited-edition, organic, sustainable Scottish Merino yarn, BELL WETHER. The beautiful natural white of the yarn, White Clover, has inspired a range of high drama with luminescent shocking pinks, Pink Zing, reds, Poppy and green, Martini Samphire, standing alongside the softest and dreamy Ballet Pink, Sea Mist, Garnet and Maple with a high contrast dark French navy – Bleu Marine!

These stunning colours have formed the base for this distinctive Love Hearts design.
