Learn your ABC with a Passionate Weaver!

B is for......

Books!  I don't know about anyone else, but I can't do without them.  I tend to use them as a resource for trying new techniques, problem solving (there's always an answer somewhere on the bookshelf) and as source of inspiration (often travel, gardening or art books).

I've always got a note book in my bag, as well as a small sketchbook, pen, 2B pencil, rubber, sharpener and very small water colour kit as well as my trusty camera!

Novels are my bedtime reading, not crime, though.  I can happily drift off to sleep mid-paragraph.

How about you?  Do yo have a favourite weaving book?  Spinning, what's your book of choice?  How about your favourite dyeing book, natural or synthetic (dyes, that is!)?

Learn your ABC with a Passionate Weaver!


A is for Anthurium, that waxy flower grown throughout the world and, in particular, Hawaii.
I first discovered them when I was looking for inspiration for my final project at Bradford College in 2004. The resulting designs and products I’ve woven as a result of the anthurium inspiration have brought me continued recognition.
This little colour palette, that I worked for a yarn I designed for Yarnmaker magazine, features one of my favourite colours.
