This winter, bobble hats are out and knitted headbands are in! Swimmers have gone wild for Fay Preene’s handmade chunky knits which has inspired her new brand and business, Lulu-Wild.
Named after one of her spaniel dogs, Lulu, the business grew from a kind gesture for a friend during the December lockdown in 2020. “My friend Vicki (Mccreadie) kept going on about this blue headband she wanted but couldn’t find,” says Fay. “My grandma had taught me to knit when I was younger and even though I hadn’t picked up a pair of knitting needles since, I thought I could probably make what she was after.”
