About

Hand Knits for the Story of your Home.

Hi, I am Tanya Robinson.

Thank you for visiting my shop of hand-knits for the home. Maybe, like me, your home is your sanctuary, a place to restore your soul and share with those you love, to explore personal style and let treasured items tell the story of your home.

My Story

My grandmother taught me to knit and following a few dropped stitches and oversized jumpers, I came to see how beautiful a well-placed knitted cushion can bring the elements of a room together through a timeless craft. My knitting is rooted in my South African Norwegian heritage allowing me to blend understated, pared-back Scandi style, with vibrant and bold African colours and textures.

My Yarns

Merino and cashmere blended yarns are my yarns of choice. Not only is it glorious to knit with, the yarn is super soft, has minimal fuzz and can be gently machine washed. And traceable - not only back to the farm, but directly to the sheep and the various stages in the yarn process.
