Judith Glue Orkney
Judith Glue is well known in the knitwear world, having been in business since she was 18 years old. When we met Judith at Scotland's Spring Trade Fair we were really excited to be asked to create a set of bespoke bobble hats for her brand.
A hat fit for a princess
We were delighted when Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon asked us to create a hat for Princess Charlotte. Being a gift from Scotland, we felt a unique tartan design would be fitting for the occasion.
