Mrs Hen has been handmade from 100% knitted lambswool which has been lightly felted. After sewing she is filled with polyester toy stuffing and is suitable for all ages. Mrs Hen is beautifully soft and can be used as a cushion or toy to decorate a nursery, bedroom or living room.
Sally develops the shape for each animal as well as the surface pattern and knits them in her studio in Norwich, Norfolk on domestic knitting machines using the softest lambswool. Handmade, each animal is individual with their own personality just waiting for a new home and a hug!
Dimensions: 40 x 38 cm.
Care: Hand wash only in cool water. Remove any marks as soon as possible with cool water.
Please note this is a handcrafted product and there may be small variations in size and colour.
Sally Nencini has always loved textiles, not only the design process but also making and creating. She has a long-held interest in handworked craft, surface pattern, texture and vintage textiles. She often draws visual reference from her love of vintage toys, especially the imagery and colours of early Galt and Abbatt wooden puzzles and picture card games. Using this inspiration she re-interprets designs for a contemporary audience. Originally from Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland, Sally now works from her home studio in Norwich. She is very hands-on, as well as designing and making herself, she works with a small family run knitwear factory in Scotland. This allows Sally to keep all her production in the UK, outsourcing to support the local community and making sure the quality is as good as it can be.
