Full description
This unique handbag is made from handspun Wensleydale rare breed fleece, hand dyed in a silverbirch,primrose and lavender colourway.
The lining is vintage silk and the button is Victorian mother of pearl.
The handbag measures approximately 26cm wide and 18 cm deep (but with the curls this is 28cm!)The handle is 50cm long.
Please take the time to read this, as it will help you to appreciate how truly unique each hand bag is!
My handbags are made from the fleece of rare breed British sheep, such as the Wensleydale.
I hand wash the fleece, then dye it with subtle washes of colour that enhance it's natural texture and lustre.
The next step is to hand spin the yarn on my Ashford traveller spinning wheel. I do not card the fleece, as I want the unique qualities of the rare breed wool to show in the yarns I create.
I use the natural locks or curls from each fleece as I knit. The fleeces I work with are naturally wavy and curly, so I feel it is important that this can be seen in the finished item-it also ensures that each handbag is an absolute one-off!
I then painstakingly line the bag with either silk or vintage fabric and finish with a vintage or hand crafted fastener.
