ABOUT US
Judy and Eileen was founded in 2022 by Tricia Kerns and Laura Hannam. We met at our local yarn shop knitting group, and an instant friendship began. We decided to start a shawl cuff business when we struggled to find one to purchase during a knitting trip to Colorado. Our mothers' love of all things fiber inspired us to name our company in honor of them.
