Textiles Shop

Hello and thank you for dropping by. All my yarns and textiles are hand-spun from local island fleeces, especially the native seaweed-eating North Ronaldsay rare breed. I use natural colours and hand dye my yarns. I knit, weave and felt unique pieces, inspired by the beautiful island I live on. Thank you for visiting. Simone x
