Study of late blackthorn leaves. #Handwoven snug in #Scottishisland wool. #Weft vegetable dyed on #Skye with #meadowsweet, #bracken, #tansy and #indigo.

Inspired by the last #blackthorn leaves that cling even after the #sloe s have shrivelled. A fine, soft #snug #handwoven in #Shetland, #Harris and a luxury blend of #natural #vegetabledyed wool from the #isleofskye. In my #Etsy shop now.

Just a few #blackthorn leaves cling late to the twigs as #autumn walks away. #weaving #theseisles

Earthenwear.

The simplicity of the #undyed. Low-impact fibre with an #organic hint of #pattern. Like the bark of a #tree. #selfsufficiency #rightlivelihood #lowimpactliving #weaving #theseisles

Rodolpi Mountain #poncho made from #Bulgarian #wool, which I wish I could say I collected on my travels...

Voluminous scarf with a small carbon footprint. For the #greeneconomics that the 1970s #craftrevival dreamed about. For the #degrowth that is surely our only way forward as a species.

Substantial native breeds scarf, in #undyed #natural brown and white #wool. #Woven when I was on #Dartmoor. For sale in my shop (see profile) NOW.

I wove this chunky scarf in #undyed #wool from #British #nativebreeds. I experimented with the simple #weave patterns achievable using only two shafts on my eight-shaft #loom. Varying the #weft thickness requires compensation in laying the weft in the shed so as not to weave wider and narrower widths that result in irregular edges. Here I compensated insufficiently, so the edges look a little like the #fungus on the log - although straighter than the fungus! The scarf is for sale in my shop, though at this chilly, busy time of year, may not be for long! On Etsy, search shop names containing 'These Isles', and then 'native breeds'.

Inspired by #Connemara; warped up in #Cork; #handwoven in #Devon; sold to Germany. #weaving #theseisles for a #sustainablelivelihood
