Balaclavas and neck warmers, hand knitted with love

I've lived in the hills of both the Peak District and the South Pennines, for most of my life.

I wallk, camp and run in the local area and abroad. My current favourite country for mountain visits is Sweden.

I am a retired teacher, living with my husband, a Boxer and a Chocolate Labrador - who also love walking, running and camping!

I made my first balaclava a few years ago, when I fancied a traditional style, merino one. I couldn't find any to buy other than plain colours, so decided to make my own, and after friends asking about them too, Cozy Knits was born.

I personally love the merino ones for walking in and the acrylic ones for running in - I find the merino ones a tiny bit warm for running!

I also make bespoke sleeping bags for camping dogs, you will find those on my blog:
