Debbie McCann is the designer/maker behind Wee Yarn Designs, establishing the business in 2013 after a career in textile design and later, fashion retail and marketing.

Debbie graduated from the Ulster University, Belfast where she studied Fashion & Textile Design, specialising in Constructed Textiles. She designs and creates hand knit accessories, with ranges for adults, children and babies.

In 2015 Debbie discovered the Dorset Button…. she soon became hooked and as well as designing a range of Dorset Button jewellery she now facilitates workshops in this fascinating, heritage craft.

Using an earthy colour palette based on the use of yarns such as merino, silk, cashmere, and alpaca, Debbie also uses hand-dyed yarn sourced from a local dyer based in County Down.

Debbie’s hand-crafted accessories exhibit a clear contemporary edge while still acknowledging use of traditional hand-crafted skills.
