Fuschia Baker’s Twine

Natural solid oak stand with a ball of natural cotton string and stainless scissors, ideal for use in the kitchen, for wrapping parcels and hobby crafting.

Bakers' twines are manufactured in a wide range of nostalgic colourful colourways and are useful for wrapping, attaching to gift tags, and for home craft projects. Its earlier use was in bakeries, (not so long ago) where they used to tie paper wrapping around loaves of bread and tie up cake boxes. Although it seems to have taken over the arts and crafts world, baker's twine is still commonly used for wrapping....and of course, it can be reused ad infinitum. Who needs plastic tape!

Sewn properly and bound into a slim, light hardback notebook that opens completely flat. Covered in patterned paper printed for the Ditchling Museum of Art+Craft, a recreation of a pattern from their St. Dominic’s Press archive incorporating a version of Eric Gill’s famous hound motif. Eric Gill helped to establish the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, an artist’s colony espousing principles of communal life and self-sufficiency in Ditchling in 1921. The museum, housed in the old Ditchling village schoolhouse, holds a permanent collection of the outpourings of this very active community, which was only finally disbanded in 1989.
