On Tristan da Cunha, Northern Rockhopper penguins are a familiar part of island life, inspiring handmade pieces that celebrate the wildlife found at the edge of the South Atlantic.
This charming penguin is hand knitted from imported wool and designed to resemble the Northern Rockhopper, with “TDC” knitted into its stomach as a little reminder of Tristan da Cunha. Made as a soft, characterful keepsake, it brings together the island’s wildlife and its tradition of handmade crafts.
Each penguin is approximately 7 × 15 cm, although size and shape may vary slightly with each knitter, making every piece individual.
As each one begins its journey from Tristan da Cunha, your penguin travels across the South Atlantic before reaching you — making its journey part of the story.
Bring home your own little Rockhopper Penguin and carry a piece of Tristan’s wildlife with you wherever you go.
