Patricia's knitted (and felted) body adornment was developed after tuition by renowned fibre artist Jeanette Sendler in Newburgh, Fife (www.sendler.co.uk) and knitwear designer Barbara Ridland on Shetland (www.troak.co.uk). Much of this work is inspired by ripped sileage sheeting, which can be found blowing horizontally off stock fences in Caithness

All items,which Owen is modelling here, are made in pure new wool and are normally made to order.

The Skull Scarf is knitted on the Shetland Islands in finest merino lambswool (spun in Scotland) . The Dreaded Hat and the Tabard/Poncho were knitted in Caithness using Shetland Wool.

All pictures were taken on Caithness beaches near Latheron and Lybster.
