I have a little selection of some new work to share this week- a small batch of shawls, a few new plant dyed silk blouses and some other pieces that would make nice small gifts- I’ll post some on stories on Monday night.
If you’re in Nelson I’ll be at a pop up sale with a lovely & talented group of makers Dec 9&10 @no6coffee

Thanks for being here!

Weaving- there’s a few steps to set up.
I’m finishing up the last of wooly shawls for a while, now thinking about fancy sleeves in an overshot pattern!

Protecting your woolly pieces.
Moths (and lots of other little critters) love wool.
Some deterrents you can use are lavender or cedar oil sachets but they won’t kill the larvae. Putting your pieces in plastic and into the freezer for at least a few days will help. Every winter when we have a cold snap I put all my wool yarns in a big garbage bag and store outside for sometimes a month or two.

Last summer I left a wool top in the middle of my hike - forgot to pick it up on the way down. Went back about a week later and it was almost in shreds. Little bites has been taken all over it. I pictured families of mice padding their nests with it.

I’m slowly working on a few more shawls.

This weekend I spent the day weaving willow basket

This weekend I spent the day weaving willow baskets in @wovenwild workshop with a group of lovely ladies ( highly recommend Gwen’s workshop) and in the evenings I finished off two wooly shawls (I started those a few days earlier) and finished twisting the fringes late last night. It was a very nice weekend.
Don’t they look cute all together 😅
These two shawls will be available soon, I plan to start two more right away in a different colour pallet.

Silk, cotton & linen threads. This pattern was really satisfying to weave, the silk was naturally variegated so has soft shades of grey in it. I had sewn this cloth into a dress a while ago then it hid in my studio, I finally just listed it in the online shop. There’s one size small available. Has pockets and paired with a really nice linen twill. I’m quite smitten with it, probably why it sat in my studio past few months.

This wool is light weight but thick and warm at the same time. Beautiful quality suiting that I sourced as dead stock locally here in Nelson. (These little details matter to me 🙃)

I just added three different cozy wool wraps I hand wove to my online shop.

I plant dyed some of the wool used in this piece and the rest is wool in its natural colours- all lovely neutrals.
I’ll post more pictures in my stories.

Hope you’re all having a nice weekend!

Linen is a temperature regulating fibre- keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Add leggings and a kerchief to cozy it up.

I fell in love with Mexico City last week.
The people are gentle and kind, the food was fantastic, they have a reverence for dogs, town squares on Sunday are filled with so much love and cheer (and dancing), big trees and flowers everywhere, art and design… add a roof top salt water pool and some friends equals a nice little vacation for me!

Now back to work!
