I primarily weave scarves, throws, baby blankets, table runners, cushions and small mats.
I
always use 100% natural fibre yarns, including wool from own
sheep and alpaca, llama, cashmere or angora goat.
But I also like
to use silk, linen and cotton yarns to create a a different
texture..

Pictured on the left is a lovely
chequer-patterned, baby blanket that I'm weaving this spring.
Woven in the prettiest shades of
peach and apricot from a fine blend of pure merino and
cashmere wools, One day soon it will wrap a little one in the
softest of warmth and luxury!

There is colour
inspiration all around me, from the subtle tones of autumn leaves
and tree bark to rippling water.
I love the ancient stones
of the dry stone walls that surround some of our fields on the
farm, and which are found in the countryside all over the Scottish
Borders.
Pictured on the
right is a glimpse of my studio, some of the tools of my
craft and my work in
progress! |

When ever possible, I use my own
yarn from my Moondance Flock, sometimes handspun or hand-dyed;
or a selection from the other beautiful yarns I have in
the studio.
A few examples of my
handwoven
items are illustrated on this page, including the lovely
blanket-throw seen in the photo below. I hung over the fence to
take the photo and one
of my Shetland sheep was very curious and seems to be admiring my handiwork!
Who knows,
she may have donated the fleece from it was spun and woven!
