A stack of merino wool Ebb and Wave Throws! Hand-weaving large, intricate pieces like the Throws is a slow process, taking around 3-4 months per design. Each one is unique because I wanted to make them as special as I could; a useable piece of art that people will treasure for years to come! . . . #contemporarycraft #theartofslowliving #ethicalstyle #zerowaste #scottishtextiles #colourtherapy #britishcraft #verilymoment #contemporarycraft #aberdeenshire #craftsayssomething #weaversofinstagram #weaving #contemporarydesign #distractionsandinspirations handwoventextiles#designforlife #arratextiles (at Kincardine O'Neil) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqzD0gWn9SP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ig45i1px3tcs

Two sides of the same Trade Winds Blanket Scarf in Harbour and Dove🧣 By using a double cloth structure and contrasting weft yarns, each side looks completely different. I can’t wait to experiment more with curved double cloth next year and see how far I can take it! Still a few in the online shop at the moment, follow the link to see more! . . #captureamoment #ofquietmoments #inspiredbynature #madeinscotland #craftsayssomething #arratextiles https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4QaFjnPv_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19eemjwnnoc9p

I started with a sunset over Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra ACT and turned it into the first Cowl for the Trade Winds Collection. I love that a short moment in time can be captured on camera, then the memories can be taken and woven into cloth. This Cowl has gone to a new home now but the photos of it will always remind me of sore feet and chips after vastly underestimating the distance around the lake and trying to walk it in flip flops before giving in half way and going for chips with a good view instead! @lollywobbles we’ll take bikes next time right?!? 🤣 . . . #weaversofinstagram #captureamoment #ofquietmoments #inspiredbynature #visitcanberra #craftsayssomething #arratextiles (at Lake Burley Griffin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpovZsVH6eR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zs9kdii92pux
