Real People. Real Craft.

Wear something
that took forty hours
to make.

Every piece is made by a real person: by name, by hand, by choice. Not a factory. A skilled independent knitter who puts their name on the care label. You pick the style. We handle the rest.

The label says

"100% Merino Wool"

  • Merino: but from where?
  • Made by whom, in what conditions?
  • Sized for a body that isn't yours
We tell you

"BC Garn, spun in Italy, dye lot 24C"

  • Exact yarn, exact supplier, exact dye lot
  • Made by Marta, Bristol. Her name is on the care label.
  • Made to your measurements, for your life
Real People

Your neighbour made this

Made by a skilled, independent maker who chose craft over convenience. Their name goes on the care label.

Real Materials

No hidden blends

Your maker tells you exactly which yarn they've used and where it came from. No mystery fibres. The wool is the feature.

Real Value

An heirloom, not a purchase

A heritage Aran knit isn't a seasonal buy. It's a piece you'll wear for twenty years and eventually hand on.

How Craft & Last Works

From inspiration to heirloom in five steps.

01

Discover a Style

Browse our curated mood board and filter by category to find the style that speaks to you.

02

Commission Your Maker

Enquire with up to 3 makers and fill in your brief: measurements, yarn, colour palette, deadline. One payment covers everything: the pattern licence, yarn, and your maker's labour.

03

Approve the Swatch

Your maker knits a test swatch and sends you photos. Yarn, colour, and tension are confirmed before the full piece begins. Once you approve, those choices are locked.

04

Inspected Before It Ships

Before your maker packs the garment, we review photographs of the finished piece. You never receive something we haven't checked.

05

Receive Your Heirloom

Your garment arrives made to your exact measurements. Confirm delivery and your maker is paid, or payment releases automatically after 7 days.

Meet the Makers

Every garment on Craft & Last is made by a skilled, independent maker; real people with real craft and genuine care in every piece they make.

For Designers

Great patterns deserve
lasting recognition.
And a royalty to match.

When someone commissions a hand-knit piece based on your design, your creative work is at the heart of it. Craft & Last is built on the belief that designers should be part of that value exchange, not an afterthought.

Every commission on our platform results in a direct pattern purchase from your shop — by the maker, using funds released as part of the commission — and pays you an automatic royalty. No chasing, no invoicing, no admin.

Every commission pays you twice:
First, a guaranteed pattern purchase from your shop: the maker buys your pattern directly — a real sale you would not otherwise have seen. Then, a 5% royalty is drawn from Craft & Last's service charge, deposited automatically to your Stripe account. On a typical sweater commission, that's around £6–8 in pattern revenue plus £9–15 in royalty. Zero admin. Zero invoicing. You write the pattern once; it earns every time it's made.

①

A Mandatory Pattern Sale on Every Commission

Every commission includes a mandatory pattern purchase from your shop. The client pays the pattern fee as part of their total quote; the maker then buys your pattern directly from your Ravelry page or wherever you sell. Guaranteed new sales, every time.

5%

Automatic Royalty: No Invoicing

On every commission your design inspires, 5% of the maker's labour fee is deposited automatically to your Stripe account. No admin. No chasing. You make beautiful patterns; we handle the rest.

✦

Full Attribution on Every Listing

Your name, linked to your shop, appears on every commission your work informs. Every customer who commissions through Craft & Last knows exactly whose creative vision they are celebrating.

≠

No Exclusivity. No Lock-In.

We do not host, reproduce, or distribute your patterns. Makers buy directly from your shop. You keep selling everywhere you do today. You can withdraw at any time, and the first 30 days come with a no-questions-asked exit guarantee.

For Makers

Get paid fairly
for your craft

We find the clients, handle the contracts, and manage every payment. You handle the knitting. If you're a skilled maker anywhere in the world who takes their craft seriously, we'd love to have you.

Free

You Keep Your Full Rate. Always.

No subscription, no listing fee, ever. A flat 15% Platform & Designer Fee is charged to the customer on top of your quote: never deducted from it. What you quote is what you receive.

🧶

Yarn Funded Before You Cast On

Your material costs are released the moment the customer pays in full. You never spend your own money on a project.

✓

The Swatch is Your Legal Shield

Once the customer approves your swatch, post-approval complaints about colour, texture, or gauge are contractually excluded.

⟳

Automatic Payout: No Chasing

50% of your labour fee releases when the customer approves your swatch. The rest releases on delivery confirmation, or automatically 7 days after dispatch, whichever comes first.

Clélia, founder of Craft & Last

The founder

Clélia

After years working in big tech, I found my way back to my creative roots, and I haven't looked back since. Alongside my husband, I run a business bringing improv theatre skills into the corporate world, so creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do.

Craft & Last is my latest venture, and perhaps my most personal one. I'm an expert knitter myself, and for a long time I'd been thinking about how to turn that passion into something fair, safe, and straightforward for everyone involved. That thinking eventually became Craft & Last.

I'm tired of walking into so-called "luxury" stores and finding polyester blend knitwear, made in sweatshops, with an inflated price tag. I don't think consumers are indifferent to ethics or quality; I just think the convenient choice and the right choice haven't been the same thing yet. Most people would love to support an individual maker and own a beautiful heritage piece that lasts a lifetime. They just need it to be easy. That's what I'm trying to build.

What happens next

Your maker confirms

Confirm your order

One payment covers everything: yarn released to your maker straight away, half your labour fee held in escrow.

Approve your swatch

A test swatch is knitted first so you can sign off before the full piece begins. Your approval releases the first half of your maker's labour fee.

Cherish it forever

Your piece arrives. Confirm delivery and the remaining half of your maker's labour fee is released. If you don't respond within 7 days of dispatch, it releases automatically.
