| We come from the Midlands, an area rich in textile heritage and bring with us a lifetime’s experience of creating from yarn and fabric – both old and new. We work mostly with fleece and spun wool to knit, felt and sew three dimensional pieces.
Sitting within the landscape here in West Penwith we absorb the forms and moods of moor and sea. The history of the area, the materials we use and the techniques we employ are woven into each finished piece. ‘the raveled sleave’ – a woven or threaded skein of yarn (Macbeth Act 2 Scene 2: ‘Methought I heard a voice cry “Sleep no more, Macbeth does murder sleep” – The innocent sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care.......’) |
