Winter Woolies Window

With the weather taking a turn for the chilly, it’s the perfect time to showcase our new lambs wool collection of scarf’s, hats, mitts AND headbands in our winter woollies window!  Kirsteen Stewart’s bright cheery collection is the kind of textiles that make you long for a chilly day, get all layered up and take on the elements.

Brand new for Autumn Winter 2014/2015 we have Kirsten’s geometric linear pattern “Maps” now available (above) little fluffy cloud collection “Azure” (below), and her cheery little love heart motif “Hearts”.The “Hearts” collection was designed for “Breakthrough Breast Cancer” so a percentage of all sales goes to this most excellent charity.  As will all of Kirsteen Stewart’s knitwear, these ranges are made with an emphasis upon ethical sourcing and production, supporting sustainable living within the fashion and textile industry

You can also have a look at our Stitch My Lane collection of Marino Wool Hats and knwck warmers in  our windows too!In the back drop you can spy some new Martin Nelson prints, coming online next week!

50 Shades of Scotland

Well, this is pretty bang on topic for today’s Independence Refferendom here in Scotland, where we’ve all been balancing out our own 50 shades of Scotland, England, Nothern Ireland and Wales.  There is a real aptmosphere of anticipation and comunity spirit in Edinburgh City centre today we expect a healthy turn out at today’s polls.

These posters by Emily Mackenzie are a light-hearted pallet of colours enjoyed by the artist as she associates them with certain aspects of Scottish and English culture.  They look fab on their own, and as a pair.  For more details, have a peep here.

David Fleck Workshop

August is an awesome time here in Edinburgh and we love getting involved however we can, so here’s a quick post, chock a block with photos from our second After Hours event with a David Fleck workshop, at NMS (The National Museum of Scotland).

Our welcome desk, featuring artworks by David Fleck, and collaborative products made with his business partner and sister, Claire Fleck.  Click here to see more of David’s prints and click here to see the various products, including I-phone cases.

David and Claire were on hand to help start the event off, carefully laying down the first pieces of fabric which will add colour to the skyline David created.  Click here to see how he made the boards.

Lots of folks popped by through the course of the evening to cut their favourite swatches of fabric and pin on their designs to the pin board skyline.

We were so pleased with the reaction from all the participants, great banter and some truly creative collage, believe it or not, there is a Godzilla in there somewhere, attacking the city from the back drop!

Above is a snapshot taken late on in the evening, before the final pieces were pinned.  The finished piece is on display at The National Museum of Scotland, so pop along to see the results of many, many hands, making light work!
