Hello
My name is Mary-Ann and 'Apple Rose and Cotton' has been born from my love of crochet and sewing. I was taught both crafts as a girl, by my mum and grandma, and these days you'll rarely find me without a ball of yarn and a crochet hook or sewing needle and thread.
My nan's Singer sewing machine that I learnt to sew with, and has pride of place in my craft room.
Any toys I make for sale have been made and tested to pass CE Safety standards and will be labelled accordingly.
This means I have safety certification from the manufacturers of all components of the toy (yarn, safety eyes, stuffing, sewing thread etc.) as well as the final product having been tested to CE Safety Standards. |
I am mum to Isabelle and James and they love it when I crochet new cuddlies for them. Crafting is my favourite way to unwind and relax, so 'Apple Rose & Cotton' seemed a good way to find a new home for my latest creations.

Here at Apple Rose and Cotton when making any business decisions I keep 'care for the environment' a priority - from deciding which materials I use, to the electricity that powers the sewing machine.
I love to support other independent businesses so I source as many of my materials from them as possible.
I prioritise using those who also run their businesses sustainably. Most of the crochet patterns are sourced from other independent makers and you can find links to them from my portfolio.
