There is something magical about Julie Dillons knitted kids sweaters. When you look up close its the little details and overall ‘feel’ of them that remind us so much of the childhood sweaters our gran used to knit for us.

That’s because every single kids sweater is hand knitted by Julie herself on her own loom in Ireland.  She only uses 100% kilcarra Wool with vibrant colours and fun motifs like little sheep or pigs on the garments.

Julie has a range of jumpers, sweaters and cardigans suitable for newborns to age 5. She sources all of her wool from County Donegal and the wool is heavily sought after and considered very warm by the local fisherman. What we love about the sweaters is the three little gorgeous wooden buttons on the shoulder and the intricate animals on the sweater.

Julie started her knitwear business over 20 years ago.  Julie is also a very experienced gardener and spends her time either knitting or gardening – a good combination for Irish weather!

We adore the whole range of colors ( and animal motifs!) we have in store. You can find out more about our range, with the lowest USA online prices and fast and free shipping from the link below.

These little ‘wooly’ cold cast bronze statues are designed by Veronica Ballan and are a huge hit for their fun ‘character’ intricate design and iconic finish.

From teacher to sculptor

The early part of Veronicas career was spent teaching, where she honed her techniques, which later helped her develop her business designing and making ceramic figures. How she started making the figures was as inspiration for the children she was teaching.

In 1981 she moved to a small village in Northumberland where she ran her own gallery and workshop for many years. Her life changed direction again in 2000 and with her husband Pete moved to Alnwick; here with his encouragement and participation she developed a range of animals which became very popular, with demand often outstripping both the figures and her production.

Inspired by the bleak beauty of the North East of England

After many successful years of increasing the variety of designs and production, She been moving towards semi retirement so it is rare to find any available in the market place.

The Frith Sculpture Studios have now created a range of cold cast bronze sculptures with Veronicas approval that are of her famous and iconic ‘wooly’ ceramic animals.

Cold Cast Bronze Finish from Wiltshire near Stonehenge

Manufactured by hand for the last 25 years in Wiltshire in the South of England near Stonehenge these sculptures are made with care by our craftsmen and women in the West Country of England in our special bronze finish, we ensure that you acquire a quality sculpture, which will give you and future generations, many years of pleasure.
