| Our mixed flock of sheep and alpacas provide us with plenty of opportunities to process our own wool and fibre and, amongst other things, produce the most incredible rugs. After shearing, which usually takes place late May/June, the fleeces are picked clean of vegetable matter and then washed and dried in the North Devon sunshine. Once dry, they are spun by hand on one of our two spinning wheels, producing beautifully soft skeins. The penultimate stage is then planning the rug: deciding which fleeces to use, what pattern to weave and then warping up one of our floor looms. The warp of the rugs (the threads that go from end to end) are linen, a natural fibre from the flax plant, widely grown in Northern Europe. The weaving process itself is pure delight as the rugs begin to grow, paying tribute to the individual animals who provided us with their gorgeous fibre!
