BACKORDER TIMESCALES
Ernest Wright remains dedicated to crafting high-quality, handmade scissors and shears with perfect performance.
Due to the pandemic and high demand, only a few models are currently available, and these can only be offered on backorder, with a wait time of approximately 26 weeks.
If you are interested in a model which is out-of-stock and not currently available on backorder, please email ku.oc.thgirwtsenre@ofni so we can add you to the relevant waiting list.
To those customers currently awaiting a backorder, we humbly thank you for your patience and support. We really are sorry for the wait, but this is what’s required in order for us to deliver our usual quality in these unusual times.
The ways of old-fashioned tailoring
According to traditional tailor, Tom van het Hof, there is still much to be salvaged from the craft’s by-gone golden eras. Join us as we ask Tom about the principles and techniques that keep him coming back to the tailoring of yesterday.
The home of handmade scissors
From the 1960s till the 2000s, Ernest Wright continually produced scissors from its own Kutrite Works factory. Now, with the completion of an exciting business deal, those bright days are coming back.
“Every Quilt Has A Story Behind It”
Ilkley-based artisan Jenni Smith believes every quilt has a story to tell. We spoke to Jenni about craft, community, and how her experience of writing a book about quilting with Liberty fabrics brought a lifelong love affair to a new pinnacle.
“We are but the two halves of a pair of scissors, when apart…
but together we are something”.
