Meet the Maker

   
    SC Knits a colourful independent textile
    business, based in Bristol, UK. Offering
    hand-dyed, knitted, knotted and
    felted lifestyle products using all natural
    biodegradable material bases such as
    cotton and wool.

    Sam is the face and creator of SC Knits.
    Which she founded after leaving
    university, upon completing a Surface
    Pattern degree.

    Initially fascinated with machine knitting
    and textile manipulation, Sam created a
    small range of basic macrame plant 
    hangers and hand knitted hats, using
    machine knitted cord. These successfully
    sold online, which gave her the drive to               develop small range of lifestyle products.

Realising she is more material and processed focused, Sam continues to experiment through colour and dye, allowing flexibility to develop a broader range of products for SC Knits.

In 2024, Sam was part of the Avon Wildlife Trust placement team in food growing and land management, based on their Grow Wilder site. Where she re-discovered her love for natural dyeing and growing. In 2025, she hopes to visit again and create a project of colour with their wild and companion plants.

The current SC Knits range includes pom pom and beaded earrings, mini macrame plant hangers and wall hangings, meditation pillows and reusable scrubbies. Sam also hosts community macrame workshops, with the hope to develop a programme to include various textile processes such as natural dyeing.

All products and graphics are designed and created by Sam, from her home studio based in Bedminster, Bristol. 

A selection of products are available to purchase through the online shop here.

SC Knits workshop tickets are available to purchase through the Workshops page.
