Island Knitwear is owned by Jacki Saunders who designs and produces a range of beautifully crafted hand knitted cotton garments.

Jacki has now moved from Oban to Suffolk

Jacki's designs draw not only on the tradition of classic celtic patterns but having studied knitwear techniques and materials from around the world, Jacki offers a unique blend of classic and fashion knitwear designs that hopefully will appeal to all ages. All garments are hand knitted using only the best in 100% cotton yarn, some of which are dyed using natural dyes.

Jacki has been a member of the Essex Craft Guild for over 20 years.

My main 'Shop Front' for over 26 years has always been me selling my own Designer hand knitted cotton garments directly to the public at Craft Fairs all over the Country. I truthfully enjoy the personal approach with my customers, knowing that if they visit my Craft Stall they can view quite clearly the quality of what I am selling. I am also on hand to offer advice with sizing/colour etc if required. I actively encourage clients to try on garments to ensure that they go home happy with what they have bought. If they do not wish to try, any piece of knitwear can and always will be exchanged or refunded.

I intend to keep everything as straight forward and uncomplicated as possible - therefore my sizings on all garments will be S/M, M/L and L/XL which I trust will cover everyone and if not, I will always knit to order.
