I am a hand-knitter and pattern designer who is inspired by the sea. My father grew up on a a small island off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, where my grandfather caught lobsters.

While I currently live in Brighton, UK, I designed these lobster toys while I was living in Newfoundland myself. These have just the right about of lobster detail, down to the eight walking legs and tiny pinchers :) They are a great size – perfect for cuddling or even using as a neck pillow (which I do often!).

To hand-knit these lobsters at the highest quality I've partnered with Niko International – a sustainable and socially responsible artisan collective in Peru that adheres to the Global Organic Textile Standard and is a provisional member of the World Fair Trade Organization. They are an amazing group of women who knit beautifully using local alpaca wool.

Materials: Alpaca wool, acrylic (NOTE this is a solid colour wool that may appear different that some Instagram photos that use a flecked wool).

Dimensions: 46cm length

Care instructions: Hand wash in cold water with a detergent suitable for wool. Lay flat to dry. Do not wring.

Not suitable for children under 3.

NOTE these blue lobsters are currently being knit. Estimated shipping date is first week of October 2023.
