Poppy & Hester Baby Blankets

We are really excited about our new range of baby blankets, they are due to be delivered any day now! In the meantime our weavers, based on the Isle of Skye have sent us some pictures of the blankets on the loom and we thought you might like a little look...

There are three beautiful designs in pink, blue and a sunset colourway to compliment our new spring collection (also a great colour if you don't know the sex of the baby yet!). Made from the softest lambswool to keep babies cosy and warm.

The loom is originally from Harris in the Outer Hebrides, famous for it's beautiful tweeds, and it is pedal powered, just like a bike! You can just see the pedals in the first photo below.

We'll let you know once they are available to buy on the website.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone! We have been away for a little while but we are back in 2015 with a brand new collection. It has taken slightly longer to develop than usual as we have been working hard to make our brand as ethical as we can.

For the new spring/summer collection we have designed some lovely new prints that are produced on a 100% organic cotton base and printed here in the UK. We are also introducing a lovely range of cosy bamboo/wool knitwear which will be delivered any day now and have developed some gorgeous baby blankets in the softest lambswool that are handwoven for us on the Isle of Skye.

More details on all of these coming soon, but first a sneak preview of how the new collection is shaping up...
