Anyone for Heinz Stitchup or Tabasew Sauce? Artist creates woollen versions of classic dishes and treats
Ever fancied some Hotdogs in Wool with a bit of Tomato Stitchup and a dash of Tabasew Sauce?
Some of the world’s most famous food brands have been given the woollen treatment by a British artist with a penchant for crocheting.
Kate Jenkins, 41, spends hours turning balls of wool into well-known brands and packages, including Heinz ketchup, Campbell's tomato soup, Coca-Cola, and Starbuck.
Cola knits: The artists spends hours with her crochet hook and wool to re-create iconic food and drinks brands such as Coca Cola
Ms Jenkins, from Brighton, East Sussex, incorporates wordplays into most of her works, turning your average tins and tubs into 'Crochet Cola', 'Tomato Stitchup', and 'Woolin' Donuts', works which sell for over £600 each.
The keen knitter uses a crochet hook to transform lambswool into her designs and often embroiders additional patterns on them to bring them to life.
Kate learned the technique when she was a teenager and over the years she has created dozens of themed wool creations.
