A bit about us…

Contemporary, Super Chunky Knit and Crochet projects.

Maggie & Me is the brainchild of Zoe Collen.

Zoe has over 20 years experience in the footwear and accessories industry, designing products for many of the UKs most loved high street brands.

After losing her mum, Maggie, in 2012, and facing burnout at work, Zoe became increasingly aware that it was her creative hobbies: Knitting, crochet and sewing that had kept her going. However finding modern, stylish, trend led patterns was not as easy as she’d hoped.

10 years on, and dealing with the effects of a global pandemic- creative outlets are more important than ever

In a bid to share this far and wide- ‘Maggie & Me’ was born!

When Zoe isn’t knitting on the sofa with her dog Yuki, watching re-runs of RuPauls Drag Race, she can be found at the theatre with her husband Tom, or amusing her friends with her uncanny Donald Duck impression.

Our Ethos is hugely important to us

Zoe draws on her previous experience of designing stylish, contemporary accessories, and combines that with a love of creating, and the satisfaction of making with her own hands.

She designs the collection from her garden office in her Worcestershire home, and uses only the best materials.

We use our Signature Pure Merino yarn, which is spun in the UK.

Our needles and hooks are crafted from Birchwood.

Our kits are packed in cotton drawer string bags which are hand printed with water based ink.

Our Patterns are printed on recycled paper.

Our packaging is recycled where possible and plastic free.

We believe that quality materials not only give you a better end result that will last for years- but it is also so much more fun to use!
