Spinning, Dyeing and Weaving


The shawl in the background was spun using Shetland and BFL. The colours are natural and the shawl is beautifully soft.

The cushions were spun using Shetland which I dyed using Ashford Acid Dyes however the colours became a bit murky and diluted because I used too much water in the pot and so I am not particularly over the moon with the results but I am pleased that I have seen it through the whole process - spinning, dying, weaving and sewing.
