The Weaving Shed Crossbost
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2021
We are an independent weavers, working on a single width 85 year old Hattersley, here on the Isle of Lewis. My sister weaves the tweed on my loom, on her 90 year old Hattersley and a wooden glamacra floor loom while I design the tweeds and make everything we sell in the shop. I create clothing, accessories, homeware, bags, gifts and more from our own unique Two Sisters Tweeds and Harris Tweed from local weavers. I also paint original watercolours and artwork on feathers, wood slices and sea glass jewellery. I create other jewellery from seashore finds and our tweeds. We weave a range of luxury fabrics from unusual supersoft yarns including our own gotland sheep fleeces, merino, alpaca and silk, alpaca and rose fiber, islandic and natural undyed british wool. These beautiful fabrics are gorgeously silky, soft and warm, perfect for bringing a touch of Hebridean luxury to your home. We also stock a range of cards from my photographs and artwork, calendars and tweed covered sketchbooks.

I buy the yarn, choosing the colours I want from a colour chart and designing the tweed I want Martha to create. Once we have decided on the order of the colours we can begin! First she has to make the warp. Between 6 and 24 cones of yarn fit on our bobbin stand, the threads are drawn off and wrapped around the warping frame on the wall. Each series of wraps gives the total finished length of t...

hand shearing a gotland sheep using jakoti shears
มุมมอง 2.4K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today we foot bathed the sheep as two were limping from scald caused by bacteria in the grass/soil flourishing in the wet weather we've been having. If causes sores between their toes so a foot bath in golden hoof should sort that out. Wee Delilah who didn't get sheared with the others was now ready so I did her by hand. Properly chuffed with myself as that was my quickest, tidiest shearing yet...

warping and beaming on our 85 year old hattersley loom

I am sooo excited by this new tweed that Martha warped and we beamed on yesterday 😍 it is my hebridean and hebxgotland sheep fleeces!! I've been saving all our brown fleeces up and got them spun into this utterly beautiful brown with grey accents from the gotland cross fleeces 😁 it has woven up so beautifully on the loom, exactly as I'd hoped the border mill managed to keep the colours separate...

tweed bolt unrolling reveal!

each bolt of our handwoven tweed needs unrolling so I can cut it into the various lengths for selling as fabric by the meter or using myself to make throws, shawls, scarves and more!
mani-pedi day for the sheep!
มุมมอง 1385 หลายเดือนก่อน
This morning we did the big spring job of sorting out the ewes and lambs - vaccinations for the lambs (and the six from last year got a top up since I had leftovers), everyone got tick spot on and foot dip to prevent foot rot, the adults got a foot trim and vitamin/mineral drench and dagging round the rear to prevent faecal buildup. Because we had to dismantle the footpath we used last year and...
spinning my own yarn on an Ashford wheel
มุมมอง 495 หลายเดือนก่อน
Spent today sitting in glorious sunshine, finally not wearing a wooly jumper, spinning my lambswool into beautiful yarn that I used to finish the variagated neckwarmer I was knitting 🥰 I wanted a more random constant colour change with this one rather than the block ombre effect I've done before. More tricky to spin but it's turned out just how I imagined 😁😍 so so special 🥰

So wonderful you continue this journey! I ordered some of the bags of scraps that I will make rugs for my home! How cool is that!
In which country do you weave? I would like to come to your country and work with you on this loom. I would like to come to you with projects such as Erasmus and European solidarity programs and show this machine live to my students. S. Yılmaz

What u mean machines don't have souls?do androids dream of electric sheep?
I have no idea why The Algorithm recommended this video to me. Wired video with seth rogen maybe?
Voice-over is for pottery not fabric.
Damn, you really did your best to miss the point, didn’t you?
@@dragosspiridon4741 Actually, I agree. It is audio from a completely different video. Why not just make a new audio but for fabric? That's what should have been done.
because i liked the original audio it perfectly matched my ethos !
@@theweavingshedcrossbost Original to what, exactly? Not this video. There's no mention to where it came from in description either. Is it your audio?
@@theweavingshedcrossbost Then it was perfect! I'm a potter so I loved the audio.

Hii
