Peg Loom Weaving Workshop

PEG LOOM WEAVING WORKSHOP A wonderful way to spend half a day as a treat for yourself, fun with friends, hen party activity, school holidays or to connect with a new skill. I run peg loom weaving workshops in my cosy kitchen on the edge of Dartmoor or outside if the weather is fine. Half a day includes full materials and tuition, a light lunch, home-made cakes and plenty of tea, coffee, squash. I will be showing you various fleeces in the raw and then provide you with washed and carded fibre to create a small rug, seat pad or moggie mat. The 3 hr workshop will include cutting cotton warp lengths, threading and setting up a peg loom, weaving, having a go at carding the fleece and finishing off your special piece, ready to take home with you! Lunch will be served and give you a chance to chat and ask any questions about weaving, wool, looms etc. Wool is such a renewable and sustainable source with hypoallergenic qualities. As well as being very cosy! You will be taking home something that was literally grown on the sheep at the farm. It doesn’t get much more sustainable than that! £75 per person 6 places only at one session. Please message or contact me to book. Full payment on booking please.

Rug and Spindle Weaver

Lifton, England New farm

I am a Weaver and Workshop Host based on the edge of Dartmoor. Rug and Spindle acts as a showcase dedicated to crafting high-quality handwoven rugs from locally sourced raw fleeces, mill selvedge and fleece waste.  I celebrate the rich heritage of wool, together with its unique qualities. I work from my heart.  I don't plan beyond the size of the weave.  I love the feeling of spinning in the raw, warm lanolin on my fingers, the character of the fibres and colours coming alive in front of me.
