Welcome to Stephen & Penelope
We delight in inspiring people to try new things, learn new skills, experiment with colour, and find the joy in making things withyarn and fibre. We are art school dropouts, dance nerds, and life long crafters. We werethe children who overdid the glitter in art class, and made everyone a friendship bracelet. We believe wholeheartedly in crafting for crafting’s sake, in making things slowly and thoughtfully; but equally, in consuming new skills at a rate of knots when your soul has been set aflame by a creative spark.
