Christchurch maker Kate Batt of Frankie Raine is a busy maker and mum of five, and she’s passionate about producing beautiful, durable, long lasting clothing for her rough-and-tumble little ones. She makes all her gorgeous baby and children’s clothing to order using locally sourced, silky soft 100% merino and organic cottons.
New from Littlies on Felt! “I am so excited to introduce my new Frankie Raine Collection made from 100% Premium ZQ Merino! ZQ Merino is sustainably sourced from our own New Zealand farmers who are recognised for their ethical and sustainable farming values. ZQ gives us certainty that this merino is consistent in fibre quality, traceable to source, meets environmental sustainability benchmarks and adheres to animal welfare.”
Whanganui fibre artist Tina Schurhammer’s interest in felting is part of a lifelong exploration of crafting and creative techniques. She was introduced to felting in her thirties and is now passionate about the ancient art of felt making – producing attractive and practical everyday objects as well as beautiful works of art in her Felt shop Fibrefusion. Crafting in sustainable materials fits both with her environmental beliefs and with the organic nature of her work.

There’s nothing like pure natural merino wool for warmth and comfort, especially for your wee ones. The talented husband and wife team of Wrapt in Merino specialise in gorgeous baby clothing, accessories and blankets using this gorgeous fibre, having first made them for their own baby.
Mmm, lovely, light, warm and snuggly merino. We can’t get enough of it and we love the range of stylish merino scarves available from Silvereye this season.
