Our Story

The Dorothy Days is a colourful, modern knitwear company founded by Rachel and Jamie and based in Cornwall. 

We knit with 100% wool - Merino and Shetland to create knitted hats and knitwear inspired by the colours of nature and ready for your next adventure.

Rachel and Jamie - Our knitwear is inspired by our outdoors lifestyle. Here we are on one of our favourite beaches in Cornwall.

Our knitwear colours are inspired by the beautiful colours of nature and desire to be outside as much as possible.

Our knitwear came as a result of Jamie wanting a hat which would be suitable when he was filming in harsh conditions. He wanted it to be practical and also stylish, suitable in different weather conditions and long lasting. So we created our range of knitwear for The Dorothy Days

We moved to the Tamar Valley, Cornwall in search of a slower pace of life for our family and found it here in this quiet corner of Cornwall. We spend the majority of our time outdoors whether we are finding a new place to hike, taking the children splashing in puddles of climbing the apple trees in the garden!
