Jane Withers graduated in 1995 from Nottingham Trent University with a First-Class Hons degree in Knitwear Design, and worked in design studios for knitted textile companies for five years. Over the last 10 years she has concentrated on making knitted fabrics and products in a Harley Foundation studio, since 2011 with an emphasis on sustainability. With the assistance of her partner, Michael Hanmer, they produce all their fabrics and products for interiors and fashion accessories themselves. They prefer to use natural fibres such as merino wool, linen and cotton sourced from British suppliers. Jane and Michael’s work is a direct response to environmental colours, textures and the materials they use
