Beautiful Shetland wool from a smallholder near Glen Affric, lush Ryeland wool from Glen Urquhart, and the loveliest alpaca saddle fleece from Beauly.

Spinning a yarn with a broken foot… no problem 😆 out comes the Electric Eel Wheel, a #TwinPeaks rewatch, and lots of coffee. Custom production order for a wool shop in Speyside, #Scotland.

Preorders are open! Get 20% off of listed 2025 prices by getting your wool ordered ahead of time. I’m having one yarn made (a Ryeland-alpaca Aran weight knitting yarn 🥰) and three pencil rovings for weaving, spinning and felting.
All of my materials are sourced by myself from Scottish smallholders.

This #naturallydyed & #handwoven infinity cowl and poncho are here to brighten your weekend! Some yarns used are handspun Soay wool from a heritage flock, and fluffy squidgy Shetland wool from near #glenaffric that I dyed with invasive Himalayan Balsam leaves. #handspunyarn #handspunscotland

So I was never a Twitter user, and I have zero idea what I’m doing, but people seem interested in my renovation projects- so I’ll post more of that here! We moved into a Frankenstein-style mishmash (of 1700s, 1860s middle Victorian and 1950s Midcentury) of a house last summer. Art studio progress!
