Welcome

Hello,

and welcome to my textile treasure house!

I’m a stitcher, maker, occasional printmaker and dyer. I’m hugely inspired by handmade textiles. From African batik and mud prints to neat Japanese geometrics and vintage linens, I share the joy by creating small kits and packs.

Explore the shop shelves, read my tales, invite me to talk to or run a workshop for your group...

🧵Thanks for the lovely sales of my wee kits-in-tins this last week or so. New stock in production today of Indigo Patchwork and Indigo Garden tins.

Does anyone dye yarn with all the rich dark nuances of black cherries? 
I think that would be perfection.

Admittedly tomorrow I may feel the same way about wild strawberries, or starling plumage. Today, though, is a cherry day

Stitching at the kitchen table tonight. 
Small project, wonky stitches, no rules.
Finally finished the simplest shawl(ette) and it’s off for a wee bath. May show it off when it’s blocked🤗
Just before the heavens opened on us. 
Again!

New bundles in the shop! 
Lots of blues, lots of birds - bit of a theme…
Each bundle is a one-off mix of fabrics, threads and finished items - often sample pieces I’ve made - and always a little extra tucked in the box too😘

Wednesday windowsill - garden gleanings and my own wee stash of hand dyed threads from favourite dyers🧵🤗🧵

A coffee break with slow knitting. 
My new mug from recent travels perfectly captures west coast beach colours on a sunny day🤗
