At Caitlin McCracken, we embrace the principles of slow fashion, creating timeless pieces that will be loved for years to come. Our focus on sustainability means we take extra steps to minimise waste, using responsibly and locally sourced materials and ethical practices at every stage of production.
Every knit tells a story of craftsmanship, dedication, and respect for the environment. Join us in celebrating quality, longevity, and the beauty of conscious design.

Meet Caitlin

Caitlin's journey began in her childhood home in Northern Ireland, where she felt a natural attraction to art. It was her Nanny Pearl who first sparked this passion, teaching her how to knit, and that moment would mark the beginning of her creative path. Caitlin attended Ulster University studying textile art, design and fashion specialising in knitwear.

Process

We believe in the power of mindful design and the artistry of handcraftsmanship. Each piece is thoughtfully created with care, made to order using a manual knitting machine.

Our knitting machines were produced when slow fashion was the norm, and we continue that legacy by ensuring that every item is not only crafted to fit but designed to last.

Wool

We embrace nature's resources by only using 100% Merino Wool from Donegal.
