I recently finished weaving a blanket wrap, it's gone to Pennsylvania now, but here's a few photos of it before I posted it, along with Daisy and Hazel who are two of my little flock of Shetland sheep. #handwoven #weaving

I have handwoven the cloth for this huge pillow and hand stitched it together. It is woven from handspun, hand dyed wools, and plant dyed wools and cotton, and some recycled wools. It took a huge amount of time to create this piece of weaving for a past exhibition #handweaving #weaving
