Midge Porter Design

 

My motto is ‘NATURAL – SUSTAINABLE – TRACEABLE’.  I am passionate about working with yarn that is sourced from Scottish small-scale farmers, crofters and producers.  I use this yarn to handcraft pure wool and sheepskin baby soft shoes/ booties.  Each pair includes full traceability information to actively promote and educate about the versatility and sustainability of Scottish wool.  My products reflect the inspiration I take from the historic and natural biodiversity found locally in rural Galloway, South West Scotland. I design knitting and crochet patterns & kits with themes such as Sanquhar knitting, Wild Red Kites, Belted Galloway and Highland Cows, Black Faced Sheep, etc…)  I also hand dye embroidery threads and design embroidery kits with a modern, quirky slant that is based upon historical Blackwork and cross-stitch techniques.
