I seem to have spent the past several months writing a new website. It is now published and I think all the effort has paid off.
Wensleydale fleece I dyed with cochineal which I have used for the background of the be website
As I am no longer teaching workshops I thought I would redo the website to show my textile interests AND more importantly pass on basic methods for doing certain textile things, pass on hints and tips and give sources and some references. I have also taken the opportunity to write about historical aspects, which interest me greatly, for each textile topic. I have concentrated on my local area, Norwich and Norfolk in each case.
The main textile topics I have included in the website are:
Spinning
Dyeing
Weaving
Designer Knitting
Couture Dressmaking
Colour and Style
Felt Making
Each has several separate pages accessed through the main page listed above. I have tried to explain this in the Introduction on the website.
I hope you find it both useful and interesting. My plan is that I use the blog for day to day textile stuff rather as I do now, but textile things of a more permanent nature, hints and tips, ‘ how I do x’ will from now be on the website. There will be some overlap but this is my general plan.
I would like to thank Ele for organising this and leading me through it all, without her it would not have happened and to Michael for endless checking.
