  • My recent interview for “Knitting” magazine
  • A small selection of the Scottish yarns that I use

  • Meeting Princess Anne at the House of Lords in London at a charity event for the disability charity called Livibility.
  • Where I live in the north east of Scotland. My heritage is a big influence on my work

100% Scottish from Sheep to Shawl

Hi,

I’m Wendy Jane and I originally hail from rural north of Scotland

Coming from Scotland, knitting is a way of life for many people and I was first taught how to knit when I was only 5 years. Moving forward to the age of 18, I was very lucky to start working as an apprentice for the designer Val Whyte where I specialized in machine knitted fair isle garments. Whilst working there I was given the opportunity to create a couple of jumpers for two members of the British royal family.

I worked there for around 3 years then moved to Aberdeen where I completed an HND in Media.

Flash forward to 2005 and I moved away to London and ended up doing all manner of interesting jobs such as value items for an auction company and working in TV. 2012 saw me starting my own business as I knew this was the route that was best for me so I started selling true vintage ballgowns and wedding dresses from the 20s to 50s. During my start up year, I was involved in a life changing accident that left me with mobility issues. I introduced hand made velvet kimonos to my business that I made myself and I received lots of media features for them including Unfolded magazine in the US and Company magazine in the UK.

2016 saw me move back home to my roots in rural Scotland and I made the choice to go back to my passion of knitting and so WJP Knits rose up from the ashes. Where I live, is fairly close to the JC Rennie mill and Johnstone’s of Elgin and Knockando mills are also within easy distance of my home.

Knitting is a true passion in life, from a young age, I aspired to be able to create textiles and I follow the slow fashion ethic - hand made is best made. My work is inspired by my Scottish roots and encompasses traditional techniques and yarn whilst creating items that are contemporary. I like to marry modern colours and designs with locally produced sustainable yarns from JC Rennie who have been producing yarns since the late 1700s.

When I'm not knitting, I enjoy taking moody monochrome photos of my life's journey.

Thank you for visiting my little Etsy store,
Wendy Jane x
