I have been weaving on a floor loom since 2016, this craft has stolen my heart, captured my

imagination and stimulated my creativity. Many hours are spent observing colour and pattern,

planning projects, winding warps and bringing them to the loom to beam, thread and sley.

Every step is a meditation and exploration. Peaceful and rhythmic the cloth comes to life on

the loom. And then... what will it become.

My projects have used a variety of wool from Ferme Fiola Farm which was milled at Longway

homestead. Most of the yarn used was a fingering weight and from a variety of sheep Rideau

Arcott (Pepper, Fleur & Grey Beauty), Rambouillet, Wensleydale x Romney (Grisette). The first

project was a Poncho in plain weave and the second a Skirt in a Twill. In both cases the fabric

was woven and then cut and sewn after washing.
