What an absolute pleasure to meet these two wonderful souls.
I loved making these bespoke scarves, so much so they have inspired me to create a new collection - the “Gabby Collection” for those who are allergic to wool, with inspiration and enthusiasm the journey begins………

If you missed out on grabbing yourself a one-off, hand-made, hand-woven scarf at the recent event, don’t worry!

These 4 beauties are waiting for you in the gift shop at the Arran Heritage Museum!
Run don’t walk, I’m sure these won’t be hanging around for long….

Super excited for the Arran Open Studios event that starts tomorrow. I have been spinning away like a woman on a mission to create my very first collection and to say I am proud is most likely an understatement ☺️

I cannot wait to see you, I am studio 9 on the map.
To my fellow artists and crafts people taking part in the event, have an absolutely fantastic weekend!!

Dreamy skies, sun-kissed sunsets, slow days soaking in the warmth of the long summer vibes…..🌅

This is “dreamy” ✨
It has a merino warp with a weft blend of 80% bamboo 20% merino.
The bamboo adds a silky softness, with a gentle sheen that makes the drape feel so so “dreamy”. Clever little 🐑

⭐️✨Are you ready for something extremely special……✨⭐️

Two limited edition pieces aptly named “Squish Light” and “Squish Dark”
So so so soft because of a magical blend of 60% Falklands merino and 40% alpaca.

These were a joy, simply amazing to make!🤍

All the pink and purple vibrancy of summer berries 🍓🌺💕 wrapped around you in the most glorious piece. So sweet!

This one is 100% merino, so very soft.

The spinning wheel and I went on tour this weekend……well, as far as the Arran Heritage Museum for their wonderful craft event! It was great fun, so many talented folk and brilliantly put together by the fab team at the museum. Thank you for having me as part of the day!

Bonus points for those eagle eyed enough to spot my snazzy socks, yes, I may have been spinning without my shoes on! 💛
