Alison Ellen’s innovative, wearable hand-knitted garments in hand dyed natural yarns can be seen at selected craft fairs and galleries throughout the year, or by contacting her and visiting her studio. A changing collection of designs is produced for sale, with richly dyed wools predominating in winter, and more muted cottons and linens for summer. New designs can be discussed and individual sizes made to order.
