We weave, viking knit, nalbind and others to produce products such as bracelets, bookmarks, and many more handmade items!

✨ Tewkesbury Medieval Festival ✨

Featuring the first dress I've ever dyed and made myself!
Finished sewing the tablet weave edging on at 10pm the night before...

I'm v.v.new to making kit myself, I've only ever worn second hand kit at shows.

This dress was started about 5/6 years ago (which is why it's not natural dye and not exactly authentic), and I gave up and put it in a bag. Mother in law encouraged me to get it back out and finally finish it 😅

I've now got plans to make a pink naturally dyed one, with lil short sleeves and a laced up front

Modern uses of rigid heddle weaving!

Woven with 100% cotton and I had to ask to take a quick photo of it after I sold it at the show, only took it off the loom last month and forgot to photograph it
