Twisted Bobbins
Weaving
A love affair with fibre
Handweaver Craftsperson Teacher
The only weaver on the Isles of Scilly, I offer "Have a go at Weaving" workshops throughout the year. at my studio on St. Agnes. I take commissions for bespoke scarf orders and carry a small amount of stock and online at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TwistedBobbins
I love wool but also work with cotton, alpaca, silk, linen, hemp, recycled material and even banana! There are environmental costs to all fibre production but I love finding something with low impact e.g. Hooligan yarns who have rescue sheep and spin their wool in a small UK mill.
Workshop details https://www.craftcourses.com/courses/have-a-go-at-weaving-st-agnes-isles-of-scilly and book via www.eventbrite.com
Open Tuesday and Sunday afternoons 2-5pm
Please do contact me with any enquiries. I aim to respond within 24 hours.
