Thoughtfully created knitwear and knitted product, designed and made in Scotland.

Archipelago is a small creative studio based in the Scottish Borders, specialising in knitwear and knitted accessories. We don’t follow trends or respond to seasons but rather design for longevity inspired by life, people and the environment around us.

KNITTING CLASSES

In person, domestic machine knitting classes in a friendly and encouraging environment. A chance to learn new skills, understand how the knitting machine works, meet new people, and leave with something unique that you have created.

Classes will resume early next year. Join my mailing list to be the first to hear when new dates are announced.

“Beautiful, classic, quality pieces that can be worn season after season. The antithesis of fast fashion.”
