The weather here in Castine has turned nippy and the Maine Fall foliage tracker is showing color in the Northern regions. Monday we received yet another package of smile-inducing product. This shipment came to us all the way from the Lake District of England.
Katie Mawson established her business in 1991 after graduating from Camberwell Art School with a degree in textile design. She started with hand knitted sweaters (jumpers in England) and went on to create a children's wear collection. Over time, her work has evolved to her current line of felted wool gloves, hats, scarves, and home accessories Katie's husband, Chris, joined the business in 2000 and everything is made by them with the help of their knitters, Kerry and Norman. Katie carefully finishes every piece, felting them for extra softness, hand stitching, and labeling them as genuinely made in England.
Wide stripes, narrow stripes, and tipped solids in fun colors. Thanks to Katie and her team we can happily say, bring on the cold weather.....and smiles!
