Striped Tweed for Upholstery.

There is nothing I like more than having a client who has a good idea and knows what they want; this project started in early 2021 and during the following few months the client’s ideas gelled into a beautiful tweed design destined for upholstery.
The simple striped design of herringbone twill featured colours specifically chosen and dyed for the project and the spinning and dyeing of the yarn took place at The Border Mill. The yarn is 50% Castlemilk Moorit and 50% Shetland from animals raised in Scotland by my client which means that from farm to mill, from mill to weaving studio and weaving studio to finishers is only around 130 miles; pretty good going in today’s global economy.
