Hand Felted Clothing & Knit Artwear

Carolyn M. Barnett Designs was born in Toronto and relocated to Kingston, Ontario, Canada when I moved here. I had specialized in one of a kind, hand-loomed knhttps://barnett-knits.com/knits/it cardigans & jackets and wraps using woohttps://barnett-knits.com/accessories/l and cotton…My Knit Artwear!….and my Felted Wearables…for 41 years.

Now retired but still creating in my studio (an artist never stops) some of my work may still be available at my online shops.

Founded in Toronto in 1982, on June 2nd 2022 I celebrated four decades as an artisan.

Combining classic simplicity and funkiness I have knit for all ages from 8 weeks to 80+ years, and various theatre and commercial productions.

Giving workshops and classes in Machine Knitting, felting, polymer clay Button Making and Garment Designer, the software I use. I’ve traveled far and wide to spread the word!
