Little Miss Disorder – Fibre Arts
Quietly Made. Carefully Chosen.
LMD Fibre Arts creates small-batch knitwear in Cornwall, made slowly by hand using British wool.
Each piece is shaped by time, care, and attention — not speed or trends. Materials are chosen for warmth, character, and how they feel to live with, improving with wear rather than wearing out.
This is not fast fashion. It is work made at a sustainable pace, for people who value quality over quantity and things made to last.

Handcrafted knitwear made slowly, using good wool and thoughtful design
I make small-batch knitwear in Cornwall, focusing on warmth, texture and pieces that feel good to live with. Each item is made by hand, using wool chosen for quality, character and longevity — not trends.
The Materials – Good wool, honestly sourced…
Wool is at the heart of everything I make. My core yarns are lambswool and heritage fibres spun by long-established British mills, chosen for warmth, durability and a beautiful handle.
Much of the wool I use is spun in Scotland by trusted family-run mills, including J.C. Rennie, whose yarns reflect generations of knowledge and skill. While raw wool is often sourced through established farming systems in the UK, New Zealand and Australia, all spinning and finishing is done with care and experience here in the UK.
I value clarity over perfection — choosing materials I understand and trust, and being open about how they are made.
Seasonal and local fibres
Alongside my core yarns, I’m developing small, limited collections using British and locally sourced fleece. These special runs will feature wool from fleeces I personally select and process. Each season, they are milled in small batches and knitted into named, finite pieces.
These collections are slower, more experimental, and deeply connected to place. In May 2025, I visited an Island off the coast of Cornwall to collect fleeces from 22 Shetland Sheep That Were peacefully grazing to help maintain the environment.

Knitwear to Keep and Treasure
The collection focuses on accessories and garments designed for everyday life — hats, scarves, cowls, wraps and occasional statement pieces. Shapes are practical, textures are considered, and colours are chosen to sit easily with the rest of your wardrobe.
My process begins with fibre selection, followed by careful knitting and finishing by hand. I work with traditional woollen yarns that retain warmth and character, rather than overly processed fibres.
Each piece reflects the natural variation of wool — slight differences in tone and texture are part of what makes handmade knitwear special.
Most items are made to order or in very small batches, reducing waste and allowing time for care in the making.
Why British Wool Matters
Using wool spun and processed in the UK helps support long-standing skills, local industries and a material that is naturally renewable and biodegradable. British wool has resilience, warmth and individuality — qualities I value in both fibre and finished work.
I aim to work responsibly, realistically and with respect for the material, rather than making claims that don’t reflect how wool production truly works.
The Journal
Alongside the knitwear, I write about life with Autism, making with wool, creativity and living a life shaped a little differently. These reflections live on my blog under the name Little Miss Disorder.
