Country Craft Cottage	weaving and knitting
Handmade products for hearth and home

		I weave on a 20" rigid heddle loom (upper right corner).  This page shows some examples of hand-woven and knitted pieces.  Three woven shawls in this top row.
		The white shawl (left) is handspun from Jacob's Sheep wool.  Spun on a drop spindle.
Scarves above:  knitted or woven.  Orange plaid scarf is our handspun wool dyed with koolade.	Scarves and shawl above are "knit" on a small knitting loom.	Woven wool table runner. (Above)	Light weight cotton rag rugs. (Above)
The triangular shawlette (right) I am wearing is handspun and hand-dyed.  The wool is dyed with black walnut hulls.  It is very warm in a bulky yarn.		The scarf (right) that my daughter is wearing is handspun wool from our sheep.  It is hand-dyed.  I have blended silk and mohair with the wool to make it very soft.
	The semi-circle shawlette with the ruffle (left) is made from very light weight wool.  It can be worn like a small shawl around the shoulders on a cool spring or autumn day or can be scrunched warmly around the neck like a scarf or lacy collar.		This semi-circle shawlette just wraps around the shoulders (left bottom) or can be scrunched up around the neck like a winter scarf (left).  It is knit in a lace pattern with a light weight yarn and is very soft and warm.  (49"x17")
	The blanket (left) is knitted with bulky handspun yarn.  Wool from our Southdown sheep.  It is dyed with grape koolade.  Very warm to wrap up in on a cold evening while I am reading to the kids.
