Braids

Braids date back millennia, in fact prehistoric man twisted grasses and vines together to make braided ropes and the Ancient Egyptians are known to have used a spindle to aid with their rope making.

As lovers of braids we have gained inspiration from rope making techniques as well as knotting, (Both Chinese and Celtic) and braiding on disks, we use a small viking style disc as well as a larger marudai for the majority of our braids. Needlelace braids form our flatter braids and we are trialling card/tablet weaving and inkle weaving.

With hundreds of colours and many thread varieties available it seems foolish not to use yarn to it's full potential.

For us the future is all about the thread!
