In the early 80's I lived in Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory and
Karratha in the North West of Western Australia. These areas are
home to a wealth of talented craftspersons and through them I was
introduced to spinning and weaving. I was lucky to share in their
knowledge and I still treasure the many friends I made. Nature
has a strong influence in nearly everything I do and having moved to
Perth, W.A., I became involved with the Melanian Sheep Breeders
Society. This group of farmers breed top quality, naturally
coloured sheep in Western Australia. |
Inspired by their work, I now produce the Western Dream range
of naturally coloured WA Wool yarns and wool tops ... with no
added chemicals ... just lovely, soft pure wool. Every October,
we meet at one farm to collectively bulk bale everyone's wool
clip. The lovely wool I buy is heavily skirted, free of vegie
matter and seed, has a lustre, a soft handle ... and is personally
selected. Then it is sent to the eastern states to be scoured and
processed as chemically free as possible. The tops and yarns are
designed by me, right down to the last detail [so many twists per 10cm
etc] and can be used by anyone - felters, knitters, weavers and anyone
sensitive to chemicals. I hope you enjoy using out products as
much as I enjoy making them available for you. Thank you for
browsing our website.
