It started with a need to hold my ball of yarn while I knit standing up.
That led to a Linen Smock which quickly grew into my standard silhouette at shows.
It's clear that I'm not the only one believing that there is a screaming need for cool, roomy, easy care garments to wear while we do our crafty stuff.
Welcome to the "Tales" part of Tall Yarns 'n Tales.
The Knitting Smock is the first installment of a small (yet perfectly formed!) range of Tales: over-pieces that make you look funky, keep you clean and can be thrown over pretty much any outfit. Whether you're spinning, weaving, dyeing, knitting, baking a cake, or, in my case, attending a wedding, they can be dressed up or down.
Key features:
- made from top quality Irish and Italian linens
- pre-washed and pre-shrunk, so they can be thrown in the washing machine and dryer, getting only better over time
- nice big pocket on the right hip
- in neutral colours making them versatile and chameleon-like in appearance
- made for a range of different shapes and sizes
- their bell-shape creates a very flattering, flowy silhouette.
Due to their value, Knitting Smocks are send to you by Special Delivery (at no extra cost to you).
Apologies for the rather depleted selection. New stock coming in w/c 5 July, including a new size 0 (thanks to the feedback from Tales lovers at Woolfest)!
