The woman behind
the bobble

Carol has been knitting since she was a girl. The hats started as presents for friends and family. Now they're Crafty Carol.

Every one is knitted by hand, one at a time, in chunky yarn. No machines, no shortcuts. Each takes hours, and Carol picks every colour herself, borrowing from the gorse, the sea and the heather.

No two are the same. Each hat's named for a place or a word from round here. Once one's found a head, that's it.

They're posted free from County Antrim to anywhere in the UK and EU.
