Loopy Ewes is now KATIE COTMARSH

Thank you for visiting the Loopy Ewes website.

If it looks different to how you were expecting, that's because I have relaunched my knitwear brand under a new name - Katie Cotmarsh.

I started Loopy Ewes many years ago, when the focus of my business was my flock and how I could add value to their wool clip. Although these both remain core to what I am about, my work has evolved to encompass so much more.

My work on the farm to heal our disconnected relationship with how our clothes are produced, has found a beautiful and tactile voice through craft. Craft is a hugely personal journey, intimately connected to the skills and creativity of the maker, so I wanted that to be better reflected in my story, which is why I have chosen to use my first name.

Over the last two years the flock and I have found a home at Great Cotmarsh Farm and I wanted the branding for my knitwear to show that symbiotic relationship. The bringing together of Katie + Cotmarsh illustrates the deep connection my knitwear has to our farm and home.

Our farm business logo, a biodiverse rich 'C' in earthy brown, represents our home in Cotmarsh and the importance of community, and I will be using this for my knitwear brand in a vibrant indigo blue. Woad was my first foray into the magic of natural dyes and the beauty, history and alchemy behind this pigment seemed fitting.
