Karen used our Valley Yarns Mercerised Cotton 3/2 to create this bath mat. The warp colours are spaced using the Fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,11…) resulting in a stunning geometrical pattern. There is a Peggy Osterkamp article about designing with the Fibonacci sequence, and it’s also covered in detail by Jane Stafford. Fibonnaci pattern bath mat I…

Karen used our Valley Yarns Mercerised Cotton 3/2 in Greyed Blue and Pacific to create this lovely bath mat. Bath mat completed.  Not a lot of contrast between the Greyed Blue and Pacific but a nice rep weave bath mat nonetheless. Karen

Valerie wove a second blanket in the Caernarfon pattern, again using the Garnhuset 6/2 wool. This one was set at 8 ends per inch, per layer, and again, beaten on an open shed to cut down on the abrasion.  Again, this was the 6/2 Garnhuset.  Because of the more open sett the patterns are larger,…

There are a few different traditional patterns for Welsh blankets, and this one is Caernarfon.  The thing that all the patterns have in common is that you have to have a 16 shaft loom to weave the two layers. The blanket was woven at…

This weave is from Season 6 Episode 2 of the Jane Stafford School of Weaving, and used Valerie’s own selection of colours from our Garnhuset Cotton 8/2. These bright tea towels were from a Jane Stafford weaving lesson, using the Garnhuset 8/2 cotton. Valerie
