Cold Keld

Warm Stuff for Cool People. A 'keld' is an Old Norse word for a mountain spring. It is found in many place-names across the North of England settled by Vikings. It's also my daughter's name. 'Cold' is the Anglicised version of the Old Norse word 'kaldr', meaning ... well... 'cold'. We have plenty of both here in the North-Western Lake District. I mostly make eclectic freestyle knitting and upcycled thingies. Creations are all dreamed up from my own fevered brain, and some of the things that make it into actuality are for sale here. Hence, there’s not much of it, and as I rarely write my patterns down, everything is an absolute one-off. I support other local businesses by using locally-sourced materials in my making, as well as found and reclaimed items. I run regular upcycling and rag rug workshops at my village shop in Lorton in the Lake District National Park, near Cockermouth.
