Ah, the mysteries of childhood! A “hank” of wool—a large loop of yarn coiled together—was a staple of knitting traditions. This practical storage method prevents tangling and allows fibers to breathe, avoiding damage. The term “hank” comes from Middle English, meaning a coil or loop.

I remember standing with outstretched arms, holding a hank while my sisters rolled it into balls. This teamwork ensured smooth unwinding and brought us together in the creative process.

Inspired by these memories, I created Needle and Thread, a vibrant giclée print celebrating the beauty of craft. Printed on premium 100% cotton rag paper (300gsm) with 12 pigment inks, it offers vivid colours and exceptional detail. Available in A5, A4, A3, and A2 sizes, it’s perfect for craft rooms or colourful decor.

Hand-signed and carefully packaged, it’s a tribute to creativity and nostalgia for textile enthusiasts.

Violet’s Wool Art Print – A Celebration of Nostalgic Crafting

Ah, the mysteries of childhood! I remember a “hank” of wool—a large loop of yarn coiled or twisted together. This traditional yarn storage method is not just practical, preventing tangles and allowing the fibres to breathe, but it also has history. The term “hank” likely comes from Middle English, meaning a coil or loop.

I can still picture standing with my arms outstretched, holding a hank while my sisters rolled it into balls. It was all about teamwork—keeping the yarn from tangling and making the process smoother. While it could feel tedious, it was an essential part of the knitting process, turning a simple hank into something manageable and ready to create.

Inspired by these wool-filled memories, I created Violet’s Wool, a vibrant giclée print celebrating the beauty of craft. Printed on premium 100% cotton rag paper (300gsm) with 12 pigment inks, it offers stunning detail, vivid colours, and exceptional longevity. Available in A5, A4, A3, and A2 sizes, this unframed artwork complements any decor, especially for textile enthusiasts.

Each piece is hand-signed and carefully packaged in acid-free tissue paper with a durable card sleeve or tube, ensuring it arrives safely. Whether you’re a craft lover or simply enjoy modern, colourful wall art, Violet’s Wool is a tribute to the joy of making and creating.

Do you have fond memories of those wool-filled days? Let this artwork bring a touch of nostalgia and inspiration to your home.

I went to art college back in the 1970s, where I received a BA 1st (Hons) in Fine Art before completing an MA at the Royal College of Art in the film school. I then worked in film and video production and finally the education sector before early retirement.The main influences on me, during these early years, were the artists, such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Jim Dine. The New York scene seemed to combine and challenge what art, performance and film could be in a way that has left a permanent mark on my psyche. This cocktail of Pop Art imagery and Abstract Expressionist mark-making seems to be where I feel most comfortable.
