Welcome to Playtime for kids

It's a familiar story.
When my Twin sons where first born, there were no woollen hand knits for babies, only mass produced acrylic knits, so I made my own.

After years of knitting for my own children, nieces, nephews, friends and neighbours children and now my grand children,

I decided to put together my favourite patterns and wools and start my own little online shop.

Bright, Bold and Colourful. Nothing stimulates babies awareness like colour.

If you are looking for more adventurous, colourful and fun to wear outfits for you little ones, then you have come to the right site. The garments on this site have been lovingly designed for babies and toddlers in soft wools gentle on young skin in gorgeous bright colours.

Should you see something you like but would prefer a different colour than listed, simply contact us and I will be happy to knit it up for you.

Special thank you to Nana Olive and the Australian Country Spinners for use of some of their patterns.

Wools used

All wools used are 100% Australian including Merino, Cashmere and Silk blends, with the added bonus of being machine washable (gentle cycle warm water), or simple hand wash in warm water. Lay flat to dry or drape over line NO PEGS - NO DRYER

If hand washing is not possible, I would recommend washing in a lingerie bag to avoid the tugging of a machine loosening the bobbles, joins, etc.

4ply super soft fine Merino
8ply Silky Merino DK super soft mixture of Merino and Silk
8ply Merino and Cashmere blend luxuriously soft and snuggly
8ply Pure New Wool - soft yet durable enough to handle the roughest of play
