Growing, harvesting and foraging natural dye plants to create a palette of plant based colour.
Sappho is a Gotland X Shetland shearling ewe. A beautiful dark brown and cream fleece, with extra long staple and exceptional defined crimp. Sappho is a shearling so this is her first shear, as a result her fleece is the softest and longest it will ever be. Sappho has a lovely drape and could be beautiful on a chair or as luxurious rug for a light traffic area. Weight: 880g Size 100cm x 65cm
Unique, heirloom quilts. Handmade, hand dyed and botanically printed using plants gathered from my Grandmother's garden.
