Island Knitwear owner, Jacki Saunders designs and produces a range of beautifully crafted hand knitted garments and knitting kits.
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 for the modern era. All garments are hand knitted and made using only the best cotton yarns and natural dyes, and as a result can be knitted specifically to your size and shape.
Jacki has been a member of the Essex Guild of Craftsmen for 10 years.
