We believe that every moment with a miracle baby is worth wrapping them up in the softest wool; this is why we have now venture from hand delivering hand knitted premature outfits from hats, jumpers & winter sets to our local hospital & developed this website to inspire others to donate on their behalf or to purchase for your own or loved one’s miracle
As long as we can remember we have been knitting hats, gloves, socks etc within a variety of different colours and sizes from 0-3 pounds to new-borns as currently on the market in highstreets shops there are very minimal variety. All our pieces are thoughtfully crafted using the softest wool. As well as being kind to the planet, our fabrics are gentle on a little one’s delicate skin.
Colourful Premature Baby Knits was founded by Lesley, a retired register with over 20+ years experience of working with newly registered babies and newly married couples however along with her day job she wanted to help give premature babies the clothing they deserve when coming into the world earlier than expected.
Therefore with setting up this small business, she also wanted to make it easier for loved-ones to buy quality premature baby clothes and new-born baby outfits suitable for these beautiful little babies. It had to be clothes that are practical, the right size, great quality and comfortable for the little bundles of joy. Therefore there is a wide range for babies weighing 1lb-3lb (premature baby), 3lb-5lb (early baby clothes), 5lb-7lb (tiny baby clothes) & Newborns(0-3months).
As well as being able to purchase clothing we have also set up a section of where anyone can donate & sponsor a hat as little as £3.00 and each sponsored item will be labelled as being donated by the individual and mentioned of the outcome of this whether that is being a ward hat or given to a precious life that was able to leave the hospital.
