A HAND-MADE WEAVING

‘COAST’.

  • THIS WEAVING IS A 100% WOOL The warp is a grey woollen yarn from Sweden. The weft is a mix of hand spun yarns from different mostly Dutch sheep breeds and British woollen yarns.

    The yarn I loved working with this time is this amazing woollen yarn ‘Croft’ by the West Yorkshire Spinners which is a 100% Shetland.

  • Coast; (meaning) Rib, part of the body (before 12th century). Margin of land (12th C.) Later used as ‘shore.’

    This weaving was woven on the coast of Norfolk and I cut it from the loom in the woods of Lincolnshire. The piece now has the colours of the land and nature of the coastline, just at the beginning of spring. It has a lot of greens, greys, whites, and a small line of yellow.

    This wrap has the feel of nature and the old times. When I walked the land and footpaths it was not hard to remember the stories of knowledge and strength of the hardworking men and women whom shaped the land.

    When the weaving was done I washed the wrap and loossened the longer fibres so this weaving to me feels amazingly soft and comforting. ..so good for the heart.

  • The size if the Coast wrap is 35 cm by 245 cm.

    The price is 325€ ex shipping.

    (This wrap does not fit in a letterbox and due to the new US regulations I sadly cannot ship it to the US. )

A WOOLLEN HAND-MADE WEAVING

‘VIKING’.

  • THIS WEAVING IS MADE WITH; the warp is Swedish yarn from a small wool mill in Fritsla. The weft is predominantly hand-spun Drente’s heide wool, Mahsam and Gotland wool. yarns from Norway and even a lil local alpaca.

  • This VIKING MAN weaving has layers of peace and silence.

    the images floating through my mind and hands were of a silent man. strong in his presence and heart.

    In this era where masculinity seems to be perceived as negative, all I saw in my minds eye while I worked was good and strong. Protective. a man aware of himself and the world, awake.

    As the old saying goes. ‘Not corrupted by church or state.’

    The weaving has layers of the soul of cold river water and the Northern islands.
