About weaving

It's tempting to talk about 'weaving it all together' - in terms of science, creative writing and crafts!

My enthusiasm for weaving - initially of the lowest-tech, peg-loom variety - came from a desire to use the fleeces of our own sheep, and has grown from there. I exhibit and sell through the Percy House Gallery in Cockermouth and through various Craft Fairs, including our own 'Wood and Wool' (with my husband John, a wood-turner).

I'm a member of the Eden Valley Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers; buy thread for warps and assorted dyed 'twiddly bits' (such as Wensleydale or Blue-faced Leicester uncarded fleece) from the WoolClip co-operative, and help out at the wonderful, internationally popular WoolFest in Cockermouth each year.

I am delighted to undertake commissions, either using your own fleeces or one from my own very varied store. Please do get in touch to discuss your ideas.
