About ArmKandi

ArmKandi

Passionate wet felter, making unique and bespoke items for those who like to stand out from the crowd.

I lead a simple life and try to live in harmony with the world. To that end I am a great believer in recycling and up-cycling,trying to use the earth's resources wisely.
Where possible I try to use organic products which are eco-friendly and carry a low carbon footprint. Wool is a natural resource,totally renewable and very hardwearing.
I lived in New Zealand for 10 years where there continues to be a great enthusiasm for wool creations and natural dyeing. I have fond memories of of a group of us standing around wood fires in the garden, whilst numerous pots bubbled away with all manner of organic matter,leaves etc.. We used these to experimentaly dye our felts. Love that woodsmoke smell!!
I continue to push out the boundaries and try to dye my own fleeces when possible, most of which come from friends pet sheep.
My bags are beautifully made in georgeous colours, usually with lots of free stitching on them.
I love walking/hiking and go out walking with my daughter and her dog Max most evenings. I also dog sit Max during the day whilst my daughter is at work.
