Thumbelina combines my love of crochet and upcycling.
I use vintage and salvaged yarn so all my products are unique. There’s a story behind every ball of wool (not necessarily a very interesting one). But I do research labels and where possible, identify the age and rarity of the yarn. Crocheting with discontinued weaves and colours, sometimes from manufacturers and shops that no longer exist, is special - like working with treasure. Yarn lovers will get it.
All my products are at least 20% natural fibres (usually mohair or lambs wool). I also make shopping bags from recycled plastic packaging and Thumb Jumpers (see below).
Every item is hand made.
All prices include P+P in the UK only.
Care instructions: All items should be hand washed in cool water (max 30 degrees). Do not tug, pull or wring out water. Pat dry with a towel and air dry flat.
Please read the terms and conditions under Store Policies before purchasing an item.
Thumb Jumpers are mini crocheted jumpers that fit on your thumb.
Use as decoration, in a dolls house, as a drawer or room freshener adding your favourite perfume, or put it on your thumb and draw a face.
This is the spring / summer collection. I’ll soon start on Christmas jumpers that make fantastic tree decorations. All Thumb Jumpers come with a mini hanger, gift box (flat) and tissue paper.
(Might fit some small dolls and action figures)
