About D. Simpkin

D. Simpkin brings handmade “Creepy Cozy” knitwear to the Haunted Happenings Marketplace on Salem Common in Salem, Massachusetts. A self-described “Tech-Style” designer, Danni Simpkin machine-knits and hand-sews every piece, drawing on internet culture and a year-round love of Halloween.

The collection includes scrunchies, beanies, berets, bucket hats, scarves, shawls, and sweaters, crafted from natural fibers such as wool, cotton, linen, and silk alongside second-hand synthetics. The Creepy Cozy Collection leans into the season with cryptids, bats, and a spooky autumn aesthetic built for New England fall.

Handmade, Nerdy, and Spooky

What sets D. Simpkin apart is the blend of cozy craftsmanship and playful, spooky design, with sustainable fibers and a genuinely handmade process behind every knit accessory and garment.
