Heavenly hand knits made in England by Picaloulou.com
New business start-up picaloulou.com launches its limited edition range of artisanal children’s hand-knits this October 2011. The luxury knits for 1-6 year olds feature a natural and bespoke blend yarn that is entirely made in the UK – from the Merino & Alpaca farmed fleece, right through to the 20-strong team of knitters scattered the length and breadth of the UK - from Norfolk to Lancashire and South Wales to Scotland.
Soft on tender skin, wearable and stylish, the mainly unisex collection includes a Pixie Basketweave Jacket from £72, a Fairisle Yoke Jumper from £60, a chunky OXO Cable Cardigan from £68, a Barcode Tank Top from £48, a girl’s Pretty Moss Stitch Cardigan from £68 and a Cable Front Sweater from £60. The range also includes little Beanie Hats from £22, with a small range of knitted home-wares planned to follow.
Picaloulou.com is based in Wadebridge, Cornwall and is the brainchild of Shireen Cunliffe, who named the business after a pet name for her daughter Ella. Shireen decided to design and produced her own knitwear range when she could not find anything affordable but stylish, for her own two children.
Picaloulou.com will be available by mail order online at www.picaloulou.com. The range will also be stocked at quality independent children’s boutiques such as Bird in Fowey and Wadebridge (birdkids.co.uk).
