About LMD Fibre Arts
LMD Fibre Arts is a small, independent knitwear studio based in Cornwall, creating handmade knitwear and knitted accessories using carefully chosen wool.
Each piece is made slowly and in limited runs, with a focus on warmth, durability and comfort. This is knitwear designed to be worn often and kept — shaped by material, time and attention rather than trends.
A slow, considered approach to knitwear
All pieces are made by hand, either in small batches or to order. Working slowly allows time for care at every stage — from choosing yarn to finishing each piece.
Designs focus on simple, wearable shapes, thoughtful textures and yarns that soften and improve with use. Making at a human pace keeps waste low and quality high, while allowing a closer relationship with the material itself.
Wool and materials
Wool is central to everything I make. My core yarns are lambswool and heritage fibres spun by long-established British mills, chosen for their warmth, resilience and beautiful handle.
I currently work with yarns spun in Scotland by trusted, family-run mills such as J.C. Rennie, whose work reflects generations of wool knowledge and skill. While the raw wool used by these mills is often sourced through established farming systems in the UK, New Zealand and Australia, all spinning and finishing is carried out in the UK.
I value clarity and honesty about materials over absolute claims that don’t reflect the realities of wool production.
Alongside my core yarns, I’m developing small, limited collections using British and locally sourced fleece, milled in Cornwall and the South West. These specialist pieces will be made in very small numbers and closely connected to place.
Made by Little Miss Disorder
LMD Fibre Arts is run by a single maker working under the name Little Miss Disorder.
The name reflects a lifelong relationship with making — an understanding that creativity, texture and pattern don’t need to be perfect to be meaningful. Knitting has been part of my life for decades, offering both structure and freedom, and shaping objects that are useful, comforting and individual.
Each piece carries the natural variation of the wool and the quiet marks of handmaking.
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 warmth, strength and individuality — qualities I value deeply in both fibre and finished knitwear.
My aim is to work responsibly and realistically, choosing materials I understand and trust, and making pieces with care and intention.
Looking ahead
St Ives Fibre Arts will continue to grow slowly. Future collections will focus on heritage fibres, local fleece and limited, place-based runs, while remaining small-scale and thoughtful.
Thank you for supporting independent making.
