It’s difficult to fathom that we’re nearly at the end of 2025 — and yet the lights are twinkling, the wine is mulled and the gift lists are (nearly) ticked off. Soon we’ll be off to gather with loved ones, but before that, we can’t help but reflect on what a phenomenal year this has been.

Winter is a season that means so many different things to us. It’s a time of festivity, bright sparkly lights, and time with loved ones, and also a time of cosy evenings, early sunsets, and retreat. All these elements combine to make it a magical season for creativity, and we always spend winter falling even more deeply in love with craft!

One of our favourite things about the festive season is the opportunity to show those we love just how much we care with an extra special little something we know they’ll love. We’ve got some real beauties in our Winter Holiday Gift Collection!

The daylight is dwindling, there’s a chill in the air, and everywhere we go around London twinkly lights are starting to appear hung on streetlights and strung across alleys. There’s no denying it: the holidays are here!

There’s nothing quite like seeing the many lives a pattern lives once it’s out in the world. As a designer or collaborator you may have ideas in mind for colour, texture, fibre, gauge, but you can never truly predict where the wonderful community of knitters will run with your stitches.

About a decade ago, Sophie Ochera started an eye-catching line of knitwear with a bright, playful sweater that paid tribute to textile traditions while carving a totally new path. Now that sweater is finally available as a handknitting pattern for adults, and we could not adore it more.
