The
Wooly Hutch provides angora products created
from handspun yarns of uniquely blended fibers. Enjoy!
What's new? A summer road trip to NC
to
pick up my mother's Nilus floor loom and supplies, which she has
graciously given to me. I grew up with huge
warping mills and looms around me and was curious about weaving, but
never tried it until recently. After we (Rob and I) brought home all the new
toys, my mother came for a long visit to enjoy the Catskills and
to teach me to weave. It was a wonderful bonding time.
I actually come from a family of weavers who had a business called The Shamrock
Shuttle. Specializing
in white and textured woven pillows, The Shamrock
Shuttle participated
in juried shows and exhibited works in regional galleries, and sold
products through Pillow
Finery. Today, I am enjoying carrying on this family tradition,
weaving scarves and pillows that will be for sale at our upcoming shows.
Alternatively, if you see something you like/want feel free to

 The
Wooly Hutch is going to move towards having fibers/yarns for
sale in which we KNOW what farm(s) they came from and how the
animals are TREATED. We
want to reduce our footprint on the world by making purchases more
locally. More
information to come.... |
