Wool has always been a part of my life, from jumpers, hats and scarves, blankets, duvet inners & pillows to sheepskin rugs.  Recently I was gifted several fleeces to work with, and I had no idea what to do with them until I found the ancient art of peg looming, which hails back to before the Vikings.  When sticks were used for the loom and twine for the warp to weave raw fleece, for blankest, mats, saddle rugs etc, this technique caught my interest.  It seemed the perfect match!  After completing many rugs that are now out in the world, I am delighted to be able to share what I have learnt by trial and error with those who are also interested or excited at the prospect of using fleece to insulate your home with wall hangings and rugs, provide luxury to sit on for you, and your pets.  My wish is to support the small farmers, the big farmers and the community by sharing this ancient craft and supporting our wool industry, will you join me?
