RiverKnits Yarn

RiverKnits launched in 2017 after we started hand dyeing yarn at home on our narrowboat. We were moored on the River Nene at the time, which explains the name! After a couple of years, the business outgrew the limited space and we moved it into our beautiful studio in Weedon Bec, Northamptonshire. We’re still enjoying boat life.

We are both knitters and crocheters and we love wool and colour! We enjoy hand dyeing yarn as it gets us up close and personal with the fibre, which has different characteristics depending on the breed of sheep it comes from. Becci also does a bit of knit design for RiverKnits. A definite highlight of our job is visiting local flocks – it’s always a good day if you get a cuddle with a sheep!
