If you're looking for a sweater for Spring - recycled cashmere ticks the sustainability box - plus this particular yarn is high quality with longevity. All our jumpers are made in the UK by a band of knitters we know and love. And while we agree there's too much clothing in the world, if you need to buy, at least buy better, love longer, recycle.

Here's a thought. What would be really great is if all the brands that do actually bother to send off their waste to be recycled (for which they must be applauded)...bought it back again to use in their new collections, instead of buying new.

Staying warm in the cosy Vanda jumper today. The easiest knit to throw on over anything again and again and again... ⁠

One of our lovely customers has shared this photo of her in the Vanda jumper. Doesn’t she look fab? I love seeing our customers in their Bee&Sons knits, please do send yours over if you have one!

Our handmade 100% recycled teddy bears are now available for preorder (shipping next week). Very limited quantiles of these limited edition bears so be quick…

I started out making bears after my dad died – when I saved some of his old clothes to sew into keepsakes. It’s a little bit of him to cuddle – and the slightly threadbare bit on one bear’s tummy is where my dad’s elbow used to rest on the arm of his chair while he watched Judge Judy – favourite TV show (he loved a strong-minded woman).⁠
⁠
Actually it’s not that hard to make a bear out of an old jumper – and you’ll find a step-by-step guide coming up on insta soon – but it gave me an idea of how to use up some of the old panels of knitting donated to my recycling stash by my knitters in Mansfield. Most of the panels have either suffered a mishap on the machine or not gone into production – so there’s not a lot wrong with them except that they didn’t get sewn into jumpers. ⁠
⁠
You’ll see that we have cleverly laid out our pattern pieces to make the most of each left-over panel – and used the offcuts to stuff the bears and make them nice and round. We’ve used spare buttons for eyes and old cones of wool to sew smiley mouths.⁠
⁠
I thought these would make the perfect Christmas gift for little ones so there will be a couple of these on pre-order on site soon. ⁠
