Paraffle was founded by Sammy Bishop in 2016 while she was studying for a PhD in Edinburgh. Looking for a creative outlet – and a way to give meaningful gifts that would suit her student budget – Sammy taught herself how to embroider in her spare time.
Scouting around to name her new venture, Sammy came across ‘paraffle’: an old Scots word meaning 1) ’embroidery’; and 2) ‘an ostentatious display’ – and the name stuck.
The Paraffle story
Sammy finished studying in early 2020 – just in time to respond to the ‘craft boom’ created by the lockdown of March that year. She moved Paraffle into a studio in Edinburgh, and brought her partner Ali on board to help her grow Paraffle even further. Sammy continues to be inspired by the natural world, flowing patterns, and bright colour combinations.
