| About us
Now in our 11th year of business!
Penny Lindop is an independent UK designer based in Norfolk, East Anglia. All her work is handmade locally, and supplied both wholesale and to individuals around the UK, Europe, USA, and beyond.
She has been designing and making cards and pictures for many years, and although supplying several shops for a while, she formally launched her business in 1998 at The British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate.
Her passion for textiles and fibres comes from her days as an archaeologist when she studied ancient textile technology in Europe. The seeds for her passion may well have been sown many years before when she used to visit the family's carpet factory in Stourport on Severn, Worcestershire, as a small child - the nostalgic smell of the wet wool yarns and the memories of swimming lessons in the dye vats with her father!
Developing her skills as a weaver, spinner and dyer (using both prehistoric and modern tools), she left the archaeological world and went on to travel and study modern textile design.
Many of her current designs feature the use of natural or dyed fleece. Many of the natural fleeces are from some of Britain's rare and minority breeds of sheep. A favourite fleece at the moment is a beautiful soft beige and grey Shetland fleece bought from Mrs Smith, a Shetland sheep breeder in Wingfield, Suffolk.
Her range of designs is now very extensive - far more than just a few simple sheep that started the ball rolling. The fluffy animals have really come to symbolise Penny Lindop Designs
If you would like to commission a design, or have any other enquiry, please contact her.
Working alongside Penny is a small team who help run the business.
