Heading home from sunny France today. I can’t wait to get back into the studio and start setting up the loom, it’s been far too long with no weaving! . #france #weaversofinstagram #ofquietmoments #simplethings https://www.instagram.com/p/BweGgb9gvkX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jut0cqp4c3rj

A whole field to play in, she can’t believe her luck! We’re having an (almost!) internet free time in France and running low on books to read already! . . #woof #contemporarydesign #weaversofinstagram #visitfrance #simplethings #aquietstyle (at Poitou-Charentes, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv9sO6tAtnj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1klfur1crbkva

A sneak peek into the newly refurbished Arra Textiles studio! I’ll be having a celebratory reopening weekend on the 18th/19th of May 10am - 4pm and you’re all invited! 🥳 🎉 🎈 Until then, I’ll be travelling to lots of different places including Bristol next week for our next hothouse session, France for my first proper holiday in two years, then down to visit @londoncraftweek for a few days. With all of the travelling (and being a one person business!), orders from the online shop after tomorrow will be a little slower to be sorted and sent out for a few weeks. . . #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #contemporarydesign #weaversofinstagram #colourmyhome #aberdeenshire (at Arra Textiles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmXPfLgjTO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j3x83pjsiwvi

32 shafts waiting to be hung back on the loom. Can’t wait for the (sort of) new studio to be ready for weaving again! (at Arra Textiles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvWxLvwguGK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eipswr202ylh

Hope and her mum Gail wearing their finished cowl scarves woven during yesterday’s Weaving Workshop! It’s great that with the same warp set up on both table looms, the final scarves can look so different!

Mini Wave Cowl in Gold Crest 🧡 I’m not looking forward to taking the loom apart again to move everything this week, but it will be worth it once I’m back weaving in my lovely new (sort of!) studio!! . . #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #contemporarydesign #sustainablecraft #scottishtextiles #aberdeenshire #weaversofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BvKC4hIAjCx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f5m4y6nwk2cy

Today’s weaving workshop @theweeboorachie ✂️ From no weaving experience to a finished merino wool/cotton cowl in 5 hours! Lots more photos and videos in stories! I have a few Glasgow dates listed online and some local Aberdeenshire dates too if you’d like to make your own.

Day 13 of #marchmeetthemaker ~ Photography Catching up a bit after spending yesterday in Newcastle for #Hothouse2019 As a one person business I end up doing pretty much everything, including photography! I try to take photos of my work in the environment which inspired the designs to help tell the stories of each piece. 🌊This image (of a Ripple Throw in Stonewash!) was taken on the beach in Orkney close to where my dad grew up. We were very lucky with the sunshine but did have almost gale force winds and a very excited border collie to contend with! . . #sustainablecraft #inspiredbythesea #scottishcraft #scottishtextiles #weaversofinstagram (at Birsay, Orkney, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_xUNEgAfr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d0ay54cxvjwk
