Fibreshed Producer

Ria Burns Knitwear

Bristol

Natural dyer, knitter, tutor, and champion of sustainable wool

I am a designer-maker of fully traceable, naturally dyed knitwear and accessories made using local wool from Fernhill Farm and dyed with homegrown or foraged native dye plants.

I also run workshops in machine knitting and natural dyeing, and provide knitwear sampling and small batch production runs for local brands.
