MISS KNIT NAT T: +44 (0) 7899 792 095 www.missknitnat.com Miss Knit Nat offers a range of luxury knitted accessories including snoods, scarves, gloves, hats, headbands and cushions, designed and made in Britain from quality British spun lamb’s wool. Accessories use geometric knitted patterns and blending neutral and vibrant colours to create a signature style with wearability. Natalie grew up by the New Forest and learnt to hand-knit from a very young age, originally launching Miss Knit Nat as a hand-knitted brand. After training in machine knitting she fell in love with the structure of the stitch and the possibilities that machine knitting could offer and her dream of making brightly coloured knitted accessories became a reality. All Miss Knit Nat headbands, circle scarves, cowls, cushions and wraps are made by Natalie in her Surrey studio. Each piece is knitted on a hand-powered knitting machine using a number of weights and tools throughout the process, then finished by hand to ensure a luxury quality. The items are then washed to slightly felt and create a gorgeously soft fluffy texture, and steam-ironed before being carefully packaged and sent out. Pompom hats and fingerless mitts are knitted in Scotland working with a mill.
