Liz, a textile designer, and hand-weaver is inspired by paintings, and the colours and hues of the changing seasons. Liz is enthusiastic about her work. She uses natural materials, along with specially spun boucle wool, kid mohair and locally farmed Alpaca, which she hand-dyes in Swallow Studios, producing stunningly distinct colours. The yarns are hand-woven on wooden looms which are powered by human energy. Her scarves and wraps are hand-knotted when they come off the loom. Then they are hand-washed to bring out the luxurious softness of the fibre. Liz’s work is high quality. She makes heirloom pieces which with care and gentle handwashing will last for generations.
