About Kate Blandford

Kate Blandford designs and makes modern and sustainable cross stitch kits and embroidery accessories, which she calls “the Raderdashery - a place to buy stitching supplies for badasses”. With over 10 years of pattern designing under her belt, Kate brings hand embroidery into the modern age by infusing her love of traditional gadgets with a modern day glow up that give the craft an alternative and contemporary twist. Everything is designed and made in Bristol, UK. Kate prides herself in only using the very best and ethically sourced materials. You’ll find full skeins of beautiful DMC floss and embroidery hoops made less than an hour away from her front door. All her acrylic haberdashery is laser cut by Kate in her studio and uses acrylic made in the UK where possible. Read their story
