Bio

One of a kind, wearable art. My ‘paints’ are my handspun dyed and undyed British breed specific lambswool, silk and sustainable natural fibres.Dartmoor colours and textures.Contemporary artisan, slow textiles entirely handmade using spinning wheel, knitting needles, weaving looms. Handspun, handknitted unisex sweaters and hats. Handspun yarn. Handwoven scarves, cushions, bags.Provenance is key. British rare breed, heritage and breed specific lambswool and natural fibres are sourced as locally as possible. Washed, processed, carded, dyed, blended, handspun in my Princetown studio. End-of-line lambswool from local British wool mills. No waste.Britain’s historical wealth, sixty-four British wool breeds are ideal for knitwear, cloth, carpets, insulation, mulch. Warm, cool, sustainable, fire-resistant, biodegradable, circular, recyclable. Informed consumers, conservation farmers and designer-makers increasingly value British wool.
