Honouring The Past
Each item is made from cashmere and lambswool dead stock to create sustainable knitwear
Hi, I’m Rachael!
At The Queen of Pentacles our mission is to create timeless knitwear that honours the past whilst embracing a sustainable future. Utilising vintage knitting machines, we craft exquisite pieces from cashmere and lambswool dead stock, minimising waste and celebrating the beauty of nature. Each design is infused with symbolism drawn from the natural world and spiritual themes. Every individual piece has an embedded symbol that embodies hope and love. We strive to inspire connection and mindfulness through our thoughtfully crafted garments, fostering a deeper appreciation for the artistry of knitwear and the planet we cherish.
The Queen of Pentacles Knitwear Brand is a heartfelt expression of resilience, creativity, and healing. Founded during a challenging chapter in my life, this brand emerged from the shadows of personal trauma and has transformed into a beacon of hope and inspiration.
After this tumultuous time, I found myself navigating the complexities of healing and rebuilding. It was a journey filled with trials, but amidst the darkness, I began to rediscover the light within me. Nature became my sanctuary as I embarked on regular walks, allowing the tranquility of the outdoors to soothe my spirit and guide my thoughts. It was during these moments that I started to notice the signs from the universe—birds appearing as symbols of encouragement and hope, and the delicate snowdrops pushing through the winter soil, signaling renewal and rebirth.
As I delved deeper into tarot and spiritual guidance, I encountered the Goddess Brigid, a figure of craft and creativity with Irish roots that resonated with my own heritage. This connection reinforced my desire to embrace my passion for design and knitting once more. The symbols I encountered in nature and the messages from Brigid became integral to my creative process, infusing each piece I create with love, hope, and a sense of purpose.
Every item crafted under The Queen of Pentacles label is not just a garment; it's a symbol of resilience, a reminder that beauty can emerge from hardship. My mission is to inspire others through my work, encouraging them to wear these pieces as tokens of strength and healing. If I can rise from the ashes of my past, so too can others find their path to renewal and joy.
Join me on this journey, and let the spirit of The Queen of Pentacles wrap you in warmth, hope and love.
