Lullaby Lily

Introduce yourself…

Hello, I’m Flora of Lullaby Lily hand knit creatures that comfort, and I’m based in Scotland.

How did it all start?

My mammy taught me to knit when I was a little girl. Since then I’ve knitted many garments and accessories for babies, children and grown-ups. A friend of mine had a devotional love of knit toys (especially vintage ones) which I neither understood nor appreciated. She suggested I make one. I laughed….

Fast-forward about 8 years and what the …? I’m loving creating and selling knit toys – AND talking about them endlessly on my blog!

My pivotal moment was when someone showed me how to make a lovely knit toy. Key to this, for me anyway, was the concept of stuffing them with pure wool roving – as well as using gorgeous natural yarns such as pure wool, cotton, alpaca, angora, bamboo and experimenting with fancy yarns like faux fur, chenille, ribbon and metallics.

I’m still always knitting garments and accessories and my outlet for that is Knitkin here on Coriandr.
