Claire

She/Her
Studio Assistant

Claire is our Lead Enabler & Main Getter-Doner; She is a fantastic whirlwind of a woman whipping round the studio, making multitasking look easy. Claire can be found packing orders on LADmin, wrapping needles or winding hundreds of balls of yarn. She’s the sunshine, if the sunshine laughed out loud.

What Does Claire Do?
Claire works in the studio helping with alllll sorts of prep –  that involved things like yarn prep (all the yarn comes in big loops so we need to wind it into hanks or balls by hand which takes a lot of time) winding 50g balls, processing the post, organising and tidying – Claire has already built an IKEA Kallax, moved about 300kg of stock and I’d guess wound about 4k hanks and counting. Thank goodness she’s there to keep us on track!

Claire is bubbly, fun and joyful, she gets totally stuck in and always has a smile on her face – you know if Claire’s there you’ll have an easier day, full of laughter and what more could we ask for?!

Fav colour
It’s hard to pick my favourite colour, I love Rose, grass and ocean and a million others
Happy place
My happy place is in water, could be the sea, river or bath

How does knitting for LAD compare to other jobs you’ve had in your life?

I love the creativity which knitting brings. Previous jobs have included recruitment consultant, administrator, and account manager which all had minimal creativity

What do you see as your greatest achievement?

Raising my children and them being awesome humans (most of the time 😜)

If you could give a friend one piece of general advice, what would it be?

Trust your gut.
