Stories from the Studio: Melanie Knowles
This week we visit Melanie, a passionate alpaca farmer and felter from Gunning, NSW. Melanie is the creative mind behind Bbohe, a unique shop specializing in handmade felt slippers and hats and she’s bringing a few of these delightful creations to Connect@Gunning Station for the Fibre to Fabric Interactive Exhibition. Melanie lovingly tends to her 70 alpacas, growing the very fleece she uses in her work. What’s more, she’s all about sustainability, often experimenting with eco-dyeing techniques and recycled fibers, giving each piece its own unique touch. Melanie founded Bbohe in 2010, Bbohe offers a stylish and functional solution to cold feet and bodies, blending warmth and comfort seamlessly.
