Announcement
Welcome to my Etsy shop! I specialize in crafting luxurious beanies and other accessories made from the finest merino wool. With a passion for knitting that has been nurtured since I was just 7 years old, I owe my skills and love for this craft to my beloved grandmother.
My granny, a talented entrepreneur, ran her own knitting business on the island of Arranmore, off the coast of Donegal. Under her guidance, I learned the art of knitting, honing my skills and developing a deep appreciation for the intricate details that make each piece truly special. From selecting the softest merino wool to carefully handcrafting each stitch, I pour my heart and soul into everything I create.
Using only the highest quality materials, I strive to create hats and accessories that not only provide warmth and comfort but also exude a sense of luxury and style. Each hat is meticulously crafted to ensure a perfect fit and a timeless design that will withstand the test of time. Whether you're looking for a cozy accessory to keep you warm during chilly winter days or a fashionable statement piece to elevate your outfit, my collection offers something for everyone.
By choosing one of my handmade beanie hats, you're not only supporting a small business but also becoming a part of a rich knitting tradition passed down through generations. Each purchase helps keep the art of knitting alive. I take great pride in creating unique, heirloom-quality pieces that will be cherished for years to come.
Thank you for visiting my shop and allowing me to share my passion with you. I hope you find the perfect luxury item that brings warmth, texture and style into your life.

5 out of 5 starsI ordered the hat which is beautiful. Soft , beautiful colors, fits perfect. Unfortunately it got caught up in the Christmas mail traffic. Lorna was very helpful in tracking it with me and communicating with me. As soon as I received it, I put it on my head!

5 out of 5 stars5 stars! Absolutely stunning! I am absolutely blown away by the quality and craftsmanship of this beanie! The merino wool is incredibly soft and luxurious, and the stitching is impeccable. The hat fits perfectly and is incredibly warm, even on the coldest days. I love the vibrant red colour. I also love the fact that the hat is handmade. It's clear that a lot of love and care went into making it. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high-quality, handmade accessory that will keep them warm and stylish all winter long.
