How ellyjax got it's name

I have two grandchildren, a girl, Ella and a boy Jaxon who are the inspiration behind my label name “ellyjax”. I had spent a lot of time with them as babies and felt the colour of the undergarments was very limited and generally awkward to put on, mainly due to the lack of stretch.
After spending many long hours developing baby patterns and obtaining merino yarn produced on farmland in Marlborough NZ, which also had a special connection as both of my grandchildren were born in Marlborough. I had the yarn dyed in my own choice of colours and achieved the consistency of the knitting to get the stetch I was looking for in my 1 x 1 Rib fabric. Now I'd like to share this great fabric with all the babies out there. 
It has been a long and enjoyable journey to achieve my goal of producing high quality, practical, well fitted and comfortable garments for babies to wear.
