Linda Willetts, also known as 'Hoblins', from Lancashire, England.

Linda has been making these adorable miniature bears since 1997. Each bear is uniquely designed and meticulously stitched with great depth and imagination. The inspiration for the knitted clothing on these adorable bears, arrives from her mothers knitting patterns from the 1950's. There is no doubting her ability to produce award-winning miniature bears. We are very proud at Silly Bears to be a stockist of Linda's adorable work.

*Linda has created five adorable traditional style bears for our Winter Collection 2010. This collection demonstrates all the different knitted clothing created by this very talented artist. Launch date the 9th of September.
