About RuthsKnitandWeave

RuthsKnitandWeave

I love to weave and knit with yarns that are environmentally friendly - no plastic fibres

Weaving:
I weave on a variety of hand looms having started on a Rigid Heddle loom 10 years or so ago and I love the craft. It is satisfying to make things that other people are going to enjoy. Since retirement I have more time and spend most of it working in my weaving studio.

Knitting:
I also knit on a home knitting machine having been a hand knitter since a child. I soon discovered that knitting machines require a huge amount of hand manipulation so are very much a 'hand craft' but is quite a different experience to hand knitting and very interesting. I enjoy creating garment designs with computer software.
