Hand knitted designer garments in Cotton

Jacki Saunders

I offer hand knitted designer garments in 100% Cotton for Ladies - only some of which I now dye using Natural dyes. 

My main 'Shop Window' for over 35 years has been selling at Craft Shows - from Edinburgh to exhibiting on Jersey, where clients can approach me and view clearly the quality of my work. I actively encourage clients to try on garments to ensure that they are happy with their purchase - if not I simply refund/replace.

Craft Qualifications / Courses Attended: I have an O level in Art. My parents were both creative - Mum taught me to knit and my father's love of making Wine sourced from the Hedgerows in Drumnadrochit (Loch Ness) showed me clearly how colour could easily be achieved.

For 40 years now I regularly visit India - where I have been very lucky to have been shown first hand the most basic of Natural dyeing techniques, to the Sari Silk Industry - fascinating!
