Alkebulan

A lacy shawl in soft Shetland yarn, using deflected double weave technique on a rigid heddle loom. The strong colours and patterns are reminiscent of Africa, hence the name.

Wrap up Warm

The cold is beginning to bite. Just the sort of time when you might need a warm yellow and grey Houndstooth patterned shawl, shot with red and natural hand spun yarn…and maybe a little pale olive too.

Pinwheel Variations

Shetland weaving yarn… Pinwheel pattern… After cutting the cloth off the loom, the next process is called wet-finishing, when the yarn blooms and fulls out. That’s probably why it’s called Fulling. The cloth becomes fluffier and softer, and all the fibres ‘knit’ together.

Pibiones

A new 100% cotton cloth on the loom is inspired by the Pibiones weaves of Sardinia- but it’s slightly different. £350. Sold!

Yellow and Green Log Cabin

I couldn’t resist this incredible heavy soft merino yarn in yellow and green. I added a little hand spun blue, cream and red plus soft brown shetland.

A soft green mohair shawl

The warp was a fine white merino by Zegna Baruffa in Italy, the weft a fine green mohair yarn, and it was woven in a simple plain-weave with a little border shot with different colours.
