The designs from Heartfelt are absolutely breathtaking. My thought is that we can get some amazing ideas from these designers. Jill Harrop, founder of Heartfelt. After graduating from Northumbria university in the UK with a degree in Fashion and Marketing design, Harrop spent 20 years in the commercial fashion industry, as design consultant to the Wool industry in the UK, as designer for NEXT children’s wear in the UK and finally as a design director of Club Monaco Canada. Nine years ago, she discovered needle felting on a road trip to British Columbia. This particular embellishment technique eventually led her to form this craft business that embodies more than the technique as her philosophy. All their knitwear is fully fashioned and made in Nepal. They design pieces to be cocooning, easy, sexy and classic with a twist!
