Amber Hards Knitwear
Hello! It’s admin day whilst on maternity leave Hello! It’s admin day whilst on maternity leave so thought I’d pop up to introduce myself to anyone new around here, as I’ll not be posting so much over the next few months! I’m Amber- a knitwear designer based in Bristol. I design and make luxury lambswool knits on my trusty machine Mabel which you can see behind me! I also teach online machine knitting workshops which are available as recorded downloads whilst on maternity leave. You can shop these on my website & they are full to the brim of techniques, inspiration & fun! Basically I love machine knitting & am hugely passionate about what you can achieve with domestic machines at home. If you’re into textiles, then machine knitting offers an enormous amount of scope for interesting & exciting fabrics! Have a fab weekend everyone! #machineknittinglove #machineknitter
Textures textures textures. All of these fabrics w Textures textures textures. All of these fabrics were created with techniques from my beginner & ribber basics workshops. Isn’t it amazing the variety of textures, thicknesses & fabrics you can achieve with domestic machinery?! I’m so passionate about showing what these machines can do- there really is no limit , your imagination & experimentation can create the most incredible fabrics. I love to teach basic techniques and to show you how I go about expanding them & designing with them. And my workshops are still available whilst I’m on maternity leave, they’re downloadable so you can work through them in your own time & packed full of info and inspiration. Can’t wait to create some more advanced workshops when I’m back, there’s so much more to explore! #learnmachineknitting #machineknitting
Absolutely loving seeing @studio_ashay ‘s new Au Absolutely loving seeing @studio_ashay ‘s new Autumn/Winter collection, and even more so because my knits are there too! And don’t they just go so well together?! That skirt!! If you haven’t been to Donna’s shop before in Frome then make a plan to visit this season. It’s absolutely beautiful! And one of the few places that have my Joan jumpers in stock. #autumnjumper #cosyjumper
Super thrilled to announce my new stockist @studio Super thrilled to announce my new stockist @studio_ashay in Frome! Lovely Donna has Joans, snoods & front/neck warmers in her beautiful studio/shop alongside her new collection which she designs and makes in store! It is a beautiful space & I am so honoured to have my pieces alongside such treasure- do go and visit if you can! #lovewool #cosyknits
S A M P L E S I’ve been solidly knitting orders S A M P L E S I’ve been solidly knitting orders and stock before finishing work in a couple of weeks so I’ve nothing new to show you! But thought I’d whip out this sample to show you & to demonstrate how versatile knitting machines are. This whole piece was created using just one punchcard! I just changed the settings & yarns to create different effects on the fabric. And the best bit is there’s so much to love on both sides! #machineknit #machineknittersofinstagram I cover this in my machine knitting for beginners workshop which is available to buy & download now.
Did you know I sell pilling combs? What are they Did you know I sell pilling combs? What are they for I hear you cry? They’re for getting rid of pills (or bobbles) and keeping your knits looking as fresh as can be. And they’re only £5! This is your final gentle reminder that I’m not taking any more made to orders after 8pm tonight and will be on maternity leave until Autumn next year. My ready to ship section will stay online until 18th October- but there is limited stock and I don’t have any Joan jumpers made already so if you’re after one of those you’ll need to get your order in now. You can also pay in three interest free installments by selecting Klarna at the checkout. #pilling #madetoorderknitwear
