A Weavers Story
From a passion for fibre, dying and spinning which started from a young age, became a life long love of knitting and weaving, print making and sewing.
As the desire to escape the modern world grew, so did the enjoyment of a heritage craft. Being tucked away in a studio, focusing on the slow, methodical process of weaving brought more meaning to the every day.
The looms are from the mid 80’s with our George Wood dobby peg loom being based on an earlier design, a very sort after loom, with 16 shafts and 48” weaving width. Our dutch loom is a handmade loom from the 80’s, more modern, but made for production, with 8 shafts and a weaving width of 63”, this loom creates all of our widest cloth.
Both looms have flying shuttle boxes and are real workhorses, using no electrical power, and not requiring a computer to function, just the respect and labour of love to work these magnificent machines.
Creating more than just a luxury woven item, our carefully chosen fibres are sustainable, locally sourced and many of our yarns are hand dyed in the studio.
Every handwoven item is meticulously made using age-old traditions and craftsmanship, with limited runs, and created in unique colours made entirely in one space by hand with attention and dedication, making each item special and personal.
We respect our planet, and every effort is made to protect it, by using little to no plastic in our studio where physically possible. Yarn is sourced not only for its qualities, longevity, and function but its ethics, and all our fibres are natural and sustainable, biodegradable and recyclable. Our dyes are non toxic and low impact but colour fast so will last years without fading.
Our packaging is sustainable and recyclable and we encourage our customers to reuse packaging and boxes where possible.
