Services
Ria is unable to take on any new freelance clients, commissions or knitting machine services until 2023 - please contact if you would like to be added to the waiting list.
Alongside our own range of knitwear, we are happy to create bespoke pieces to your design and specification, using a yarn of your choice.
Ria particularly specialises in recreating old favourite sweaters - she takes a pattern from the old garment without dismantling it and creates a brand new version!
Commissions start at £250. Enquire via email or our contact form with your design ideas.
Bespoke Knitwear
Whether it’s a sweater quantity of yarn for hand knitting, or a few skeins for weave experiments, Ria can dye yarn using homegrown plants to a colour of your choice. e can use our own yarn or yarn that you provide.
Enquire via email or our contact form with your colour ideas.

Knitting Machine Servicing
Ria is currently unable to take on any knitting machine services until March 2023.
Acquired a secondhand Brother or Knitmaster knitting machine? Or does your workhorse of a machine require some TLC? If you are based near our BS3 studio, we can service them and restore them to their former glory!
A basic deep clean and service starts at £50, with parts and additional repairs extra. Pick up and delivery in the Bristol area can be arranged at cost.
Enquire via email or our contact form with information about your machine (brand, model number, condition).
Design and Sampling
If you are a small brand or start-up looking to produce a knitwear range, Ria can work with your brand to design and sample knitted accessories and garments. With a particular focus on wool and sustainable yarns, we can work in person or remotely on a consultancy basis.
Enquire via email or our contact form with more information about your project, and to discuss rates.
Production Runs
We are also able to offer our machine knitting services to produce small runs of knitwear for your brand, with much smaller minimums than a factory. If you are able to provide the yarn and pattern (or just a design), we can knit, sew and finish knitwear and accessories to a ‘shop-ready’ level, or just knit pieces for you to finish in house.
Enquire via email or our contact form with more details, and to discuss partnering with us.
