Meet the maker
Hey there! I’m Alicia, the owner and maker at Made By Alicia Marie. I’m thrilled to share my passion for creating modern, minimalist knits that bring a touch of cozy luxury to your winter wardrobe and home. Each handmade piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted using premium materials, offering a high-quality, luxurious experience from the very first touch.
Thoughtfully Chosen Materials
At Made By Alicia Marie, every piece starts with carefully selected materials. I choose premium acrylic yarns for their remarkable softness, flexibility, and ability to maintain their shape over time. This ensures that each knit not only feels luxurious but also stands the test of time.
For my cotton knits, I use premium recycled cotton yarns. These not only offer a beautifully natural feel and durability but also reflect my commitment to sustainability. By opting for recycled cotton, I’m able to create products that are kind to the environment while still delivering exceptional quality.
The time and care invested in choosing these materials set my knits apart, resulting in items that are not only visually stunning but also practical and long-lasting. Each thread is a testament to the passion and dedication behind every piece.
The Process
Machine Knitting
Many of my creations are lovingly crafted using a knitting machine or a knitting loom. While these tools help speed up the process, each piece still involves a great deal of attention and manual work. The combination of technology and hands-on craftsmanship allows me to create more pieces, more efficiently, ensuring that I can share my knits with you faster without compromising quality.
Hand-Knitting
For some of my knits, I rely on the timeless art of hand-knitting. Using knitting needles, I carefully craft each piece, ensuring attention to detail and a personal touch in every stitch. When it comes to my chenille blankets, I take it a step further by using my hands to weave softness and warmth into every thread, creating a truly unique and cozy experience. This hands-on approach allows me to infuse each item with love, care, and a bit of magic.
