NEW WORKSHOP!
Knitted Fashion Bag

Paula’s Back from Istanbul – Inspired & Recharged!
Over the Easter break, Paula took some much-needed time to rest, reset, & soak up the colours, textures, & rich culture of Istanbul. The images of Paula in Istanbul features two of our favourite bags: the Anita Cross Body & the New Mini Chita—both now available as workshops!
New Workshop - Return of the ‘Anita’ Bag
Back by popular demand!
We’re excited to reintroduce the 'Anita' Cross Body Bag—the very first bag we ever created as part of our kit collection, & one that’s been requested time & time again. After lots of lovely interest at Hive & Pitfield, we’ve added it back to our workshop line up!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been invited to host workshops at four stunning new venues across Sussex & Kent! It’s always special when venues approach us directly, & we’re so excited to bring our craft workshops to these beautiful locations.
This week, Paula picked up her needles & knitted a scarf - something she hasn't done in fine gauge for ages! The yarn, a thoughtful gift from her cousin Vikki (who also works at Cocoon&me), came from an Alpaca Farm, making it even more special. Vikki visited Little Orchard in Devon a couple of years ago while on holiday, & the yarn has been tucked away in Paula's stash, waiting for the right moment. Who else loves working with alpaca yarn? It’s so soft & luxurious!

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a fabulous kids’ Arm Knit Birthday Party at Hive Design Studio for the lovely Jesal, who turned 12. With 10 of her closest friends, it was a day filled with fun, creativity, & plenty of giggles. Everyone walked away with their own cosy Arm-Knit creations & big smiles!
