Meet the maker

Every blanket in the shop was tied by the same two hands.

The hands behind the knots

A lifetime of creativity, one knot at a time.

Hi, I'm Barbara. I spent a lifetime quietly nurturing my creative side, and now that I'm retired I finally get to give it my full attention. These days that passion goes into hand-knotted macramé blankets, where miles of soft chenille slowly become something you can wrap yourself up in.

I make every blanket entirely with my own hands, one knot at a time. Each one takes patience, a good eye, and the freedom to create purely for the joy of it. No two ever turn out exactly alike, and honestly, that's my favorite part.

The quiet rhythm of the knotting brings me real peace. I hope you can feel it in the blanket that ends up in your home.
