I make unique and comfortable hand knitted clothing with a focus on plant dyes and nature's colors: seamless wool sweaters, shawls for everyday and special occasions, and a line of clothespin bags and the pattern either paper or PDF (printable at your end on 11x17 paper) if you want to make your own. Some garments in acrylic for those allergic to wool or the hand-washing it requires.
All shawls and sweaters come in a pretty cloth storage bag to keep out dust and moths.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful sweater! We initially purchased a sweater that turned out to be a little tight on our son. We asked to swap it for a larger one we saw on Francette's site but instead of just swapping it for one already made, Francette asked for our sons measurement and knitted him a brand new sweater that fitted perfectly (with a little extra room to grow). Communication was great and Francette kept us updated along the way. Was even accommodating of our tight time line as we were heading off on vacation. Thank you so much!! Great experience.
