Handcrafted with heart, inspired by nature, and made to last—Lucy Antwis brings you beautiful felted creations and premium wool, all with a sustainable touch

Welcome to Lucy Antwis!

I’m Lucy, the creator behind everything you’ll find in my shop. With nearly 20 years of experience in handcrafting and selling, I’m passionate about making beautiful felted items and offering premium wool to fellow makers. My small studio in York, England, is where I bring my creations to life.

My journey began in Whitby as a teenager, braiding hair for visitors, which led to making and selling jewelry. After university, a grant from The Prince’s Trust gave me the confidence to turn my passion into a full-time business. For nearly two decades, I’ve been dedicated to creating high-quality, handmade goods with a focus on sustainability. I use recycled wool, eco-friendly packaging, and locally sourced materials to minimize environmental impact.

I’m inspired by the stunning Yorkshire landscape — its wildflowers, rolling hills, and changing seasons. Nature fuels my creativity, and I craft each piece with care, using pure sheep wool, silks, and hand-picked flowers.

I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Art and Design, and I love combining my artistic background with the tactile craft of feltmaking. Whether creating a custom scarf, accessory, or home decor piece, I take great care to ensure each item is unique and full of character.

Personalization is a key part of my process, and I love bringing your ideas to life, whether it’s a special color or design. Customer service is at the heart of my business, and I’m committed to ensuring each customer feels heard, valued, and completely satisfied.

Thank you for supporting my small business! Your purchase means the world to me, and I hope my creations bring warmth, beauty, and creativity into your life. Feel free to explore my shop, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or custom requests.
