We’ve just heard the sad news about David Hieatt (co-founder of Howies) is saying goodbye to Howies.
Reading both the Howies story and David’s words below is what inspired us to start peeler.
I’m sure David will go on to do great things and we just want to say thanks to him for being an inspiration.
Here’s David’s wisest words and the words which inspired me (still inspire me) – Andy, co-founder of peeler.
Find your love
You know that dream you carry around with you each day?
It’s kinda important.
Wasn’t it what you were put on planet earth to do?
They say everyone has a calling, can your still hear it?
Doesn’t it eat away at you? That treadmill you are on, did it ever get too much?
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to do your thing?
Did you ever feel time was passing you by?
Just how many days have you left before your last?
Did you ever wonder about stuff like that?
Did you ask yourself ‘what was stopping you?’
There is never a right time.
You will be too old. Too young. Too something or other.
When was last time you took a risk?
Did you remember how alive it made you feel?
There are no guarantees of success.
It’s not called a leap of faith for nothing.
It’s not too late, honest.
Jump.
You might fall.

Last year we developed a planet friendly range of beanies (called re-knit) for those chilly winter months.
The initial idea we had was to create the range using organic wool. Organic wool is more planet friendly than standard wool but having the range made out of organic wool meant that new material had to be produced for us to make the range. So, we had a eureka moment and decided to make the re-knit range from recycled wool.
How we Re-knit
We buy up tonnes of jumpers and cardigans from charity shops like ‘help the aged’ (they have the best cardis ever and the most). Once the garments have been pulled apart (de-knitted), the wool is washed, re-rolled and transformed into one-size-fits all peeler re-knit beanies.
Hats off to Tina!
Tina (re-knit project leader) has been helping every step of the way and it’s down to her knowledge that we’ve not only created a great range of beanies but scarves and fingerless gloves to.
So here’s to brisk, freezing days at the beach with thick winter wetsuits and toasty re-knit beanies!!
