Can do canoe!

Posted by Wonky Woolies
July 4, 2022
On May 22, 2015

Here at Wonky Woolies you may or may not know that we specialise in custom design knitting.  This is a personalised service that we offer regardless of the size of the order.  We can make one off wacky custom designs for a special occasion, branded hats to enhance your company or band, gifts to forge relationships with your own customers or special sets for clubs and teams.  Whatever reason you need a hat, we will work together with you to develop your ideas and bring them to life in a functional, high quality, handmade product.

One of our most popular type of commission has come from university canoe and kayak clubs.  We started off making some lovely stripey hats for Manchester University a couple of years ago which were spotted here and there at the odd competition.  One of them also made it 4096m up Mount Kinabulu in Borneo! Since then we have made some fantastic sets in variations of colours and designs, each club creating their own unique blend which are well recognised at events.

From our perspective, Team Wonky, there is nothing better than getting sent pictures and lovely messages from our customers saying how much they love their new hats. It really is encouraging and spurs us on as a business to continue to reach new customers and create more beautifully crafted luxury knitted hats. Shown here is a picture we were sent of the ladies canoe polo team from Bath University Canoe Club sporting their hats to match their rafts! Love it 😀
