I'm originally from a very small (very, very small) town in New Zealand called Whakatu. But Naarm/Melbourne is where I call home. It's where all these wonderful knits are made with locally sourced Australian Merino Wool.
As an Autistic creative with Synesthesia, colour plays a huge role in the knits I make. Colours are not only seen but they are felt, and hold significant emotions that directly relate to memories and relationships. This is a driving force behind all the knitwear you see here, it's a reflection of all the wonderfully weird places inside my mind. It's wearable art, art you can wear, to bring you joy in your everyday life.
Chunky Boy is 100% disability owned and made.
