About Tricot Treats by Helen Dey

Tricot Treats by Helen Dey

Unique handmade items inspired by vintage pieces and historic accessories.

In normal pre - covid times I loved to visit haberdashery shops and sought them out wherever I went. I looked for unusual buttons, pieces of lace or ribbon and I sometimes used these in my work. My studio is bursting at the seams now, it's something of an obsession.

I have a passion for lace and, although I can't make it, I have visited Lace museums in Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges and the wonderful Cite Dentelles in Calais. I have tried my hand at lacy knit and crochet stitches. They are absorbing to work on and I love the delicacy. Recently I've become absorbed by cable stitches and panels and may try a few out .

16th and 17th century portraits are inspirational, I find it fascinating that the embellishment of garments was so intricate, just so for men as for women, obviously these were for the richer clients but the work that went into them, often done for little reward, was phenomenal.

I work in my studio by the sea, I take a lot of time over my knits and use the best quality yarns that I can practically use.
Please take a look. Stay safe in these unprecedented times.

Buying from me

UNIQUE and LUXURIOUS handmade accessories. Taking inspiration from vintage fashion of the 1940's and 50's and sometimes even earlier as I check accessories in early painting: Knitted and crocheted in subtle colours and sumptuous yarns - practical as well as decorative.

All pieces are handmade by me, in my studio…. by the sea.......No sweated labour, no exploitation, just me!
