I am happy to say that I can now ship to the USA again! I will be shipping using the new Royal Mail Duties Paid service. This means that I will collect the 10% tarrif when you place an order. This will be paid to Royal Mail when I purchase your shipping label. Royal Mail will then pay the relevent duties to the required authorities. This means that you will not have to pay any further charges to receive your package in the USA.
If you have any questions, or would like a custom order, please contact me at

Crossbills are the most odd looking birds when you look at them close up. As their name suggests, they have a bill that completely crosses over. This strange shape is to help them prise open pine cones and extract the seeds. These birds are protected in the UK, and are not often seen - I would love to spot one, but so far have not. This is because they spend most of their time at the top of conifer trees feeding.
This colourway is based on the plumage of a male crossbill. Made from shades of peach, orange and yellow merino blended with baby alpaca, tussah silk and penduncle silk. Penduncle silk is a natural mid grey shade, found in the bill and the flight feathers.
The merino and alpaca in this blend will felt. If you do not wish it to, hand wash in cool water.
