Louisa Harding: 'Gathering roses' - The Accessories Collection

Eighteen designs for hand-knitted accessories, using Louisa Harding yarn. (Yes, the yarn is in stock - check it out HERE.)

Louisa Harding says:

'The inspiration behind my selection of yarns was evoked by a memory triggerewd by my four-year-old daughter. Recently I found her collecting fallen flower petals and putting them into a bowl. As a child, I also gathered petals from my mother's garden, put them into a large mixing bowl and marvelled at the wonderful colours and textures. Smooth, waxy petals and soft fluffy stamen that stained your fingers and their overwhelming heady perfume.

'Flowers play an important part in the person I am. They draw me with their colours, their shapes, their intricacies. I always like to be surrounded by them, a reminder of how clever nature is, the way it knots together many different elements to create one perfect bloom.'
