Icicle Ice Sweater is a lovely long distance collaboration between Birlinn Yarn in the Hebrides and Japanese knitwear designer Rie Okamoto.

Rie took time to converse with me about her life in Japan, her route to knitwear design and her sources of inspiration which you can read about in our blog: HERE
