Margie
Robinson originally founded her first shop in Oregon,
USA, in 1992.
Named Molehill Farm for the tiny acre of land
attached to it; she began by teaching spinning with the wool
from her newly acquired sheep.
The shop eventually expanded to
include weaving and knitting classes as well as all the fun
supplies and accessories associated with these crafts. |
 |
 |
Today that shop belongs to good
friends in Oregon; as Margie and her two sons relocated to
Scotland in 1996, following her re-marriage to Johnny Robinson,
a dedicated shepherd and sheepdog handler.
In December 2000 Margie opened
her newest venture, Moondance Wools on their farm just outside
the village of Coldingham in the Scottish Borders. |
| Two months later the warnings
were out for Foot & Mouth Disease and so like all of their
neighbours they decided for safety's sake to close all traffic
to the farm.
It was not until December 2001
that they were able to re-open the farm and happily things have
been growing ever since. |
 |
|
Like her former business,
Moondance Wools then became a full-service teaching centre.
Building around the sense of community with
other artists and crafters who wanted to meet and share their
ideas and skills in a friendly and soothing environment.
A large part of Margie's
philosophy is that the inner creative process involved in these
ancient and historic crafts is very therapeutic in today's
modern world.
However, the modern pace can push us
into the frantic zone and we can all benefit from sitting still
and slowing down to explore our creative side, including Margie!
|
| Today, through Moondance
Wools Margie concentrates on her own designs, patterns and
creative work but still supplies spinning, weaving and knitting
equipment, fleeces and yarns often from her own small flock of
rare breed sheep. |
