Eco friendly hand knit, crochet and felt accessories made with love

I've been a knitter since childhood and have worked in the knitting industry for periods during my art and design career.

12 years ago I moved to Spain to start a life and art in the slow lane. Since then my partner and I have built an earthship which we moved into in 2014.

I created the KnitaFrolic Etsy shop to showcase the accessories I make in our cosy new earthship. Each item is made with love, a love for the specially sourced pure wools, for the patterns I create and for the actual act of knitting, crocheting and felting - one stitch at a time!

I like to source exclusive yarns from hand dyers and fair-trade companies with eco and animal friendly practices. I support rare breed farmers and small hand dyers and spinners. Over the years I have also collected a wonderful stash of vintage luxury yarns in a kaleidoscope of colours.

I start by either hand knitting using one of my own designs, or crotchet from a pattern or I use up-cycled knitwear that I felt.

Then, using a variety of techniques, I create the 'icing on the cake' details. From needle felting, to embroidery, applique, beading and freestyle crochet, even adding in natural found objects sometimes.

So even though I may use the same basic patterns, the colours and yarn are normally hand dyed or vintage and therefore unique, plus the details are one-offs. All making a finished piece that no one else will have. You will own a timeless, designer, one-of-a-kind piece that you'll want to keep for years to come.

Some items are available to order in limited numbers because the yarns are hand dyed or vintage and limited in quantity. I normally would only be able to produce a maximum of 3 or 4 similar items. These can be embellished with elements of your choice so they become individual to you.

Campaign for Wool - I’m an official supporter of the CFW as I passionately believe in using natural, renewable resources, especially when they have as many brilliant properties as wool. See their web site for more info www.campaignforwool.org

The earthship is a beautiful environment to live in, I hope to infuse this feeling into every item and so pass the love on to you.

Returns and exchanges
I create the items in this shop with love and wish to pass this love onto you through them. Your 100% delight is my aim!

I describe and photograph with care to make sure that what you see is what you'll get. Please read the product details carefully, especially sizes, so you know what you're getting.
If you're not delighted with your purchase please contact me to see if we can resolve things. If we can't, I will issue a refund (less the original shipping costs) on return of the item in good condition.

I package carefully so you should receive the item in tip top condition. If it's damaged on arrival please contact me preferably with a photo. This will help me prevent similar issues in the future.
Payment
You can pay using credit and debit cards, Etsy gift cards and other international payment methods where available.

You can also pay via PayPal.
You don't need to have a PayPal account, you can simply use your debit/credit card on the PayPal log-in section.

If you're new to Etsy, and you want to learn about the payment process go to: http://www.etsy.com/help_guide_checkout.php

Some countries may charge their own import/customs/duty fees that are separate from my shipping charges and completely out of my control.
Shipping
I use the Spanish Correos postal service for national and international shipping.

Living in the countryside 20 miles from the nearest post office means I go into town once a week to post items, if you buy an item on a Wednesday (Spanish time) I'll post on the Thursday morning. If you buy on the Thursday it will be posted the following Thursday. If you need it more urgently contact me and I will do my best to get it to you quicker.

Recently parcels sent to the uk have arrived within 3 days from date of posting. Packages to the US take about 1 week from posting. I think these timings are pretty amazing, although obviously I can't guarantee them.

If you buy this with another item and the actual postage is less than you paid, I'll refund the difference over £1.

Your parcel can be recorded/insured, contact me before you purchase so I can let you know how much extra it will be.
