Weaver Rae*

Weaver Rae | Textiles | Cornwall

Handwoven at home just a few miles from the coast, I weave unique luxury Blanket Scarves, Scarves, Cowls, Wrist-warmers and Hot Water Bottle Covers in a nostalgic aesthetic. In addition to this, I am working on new lines in handwoven Homeware including beautiful Blankets and Cushions. I weave on a bespoke manual Dobby loom that was designed and built for me by my partner here in West Cornwall.

Crafted as high quality one-of-a-kind and small batch pieces, I weave with 100% British and Westcountry wool that is chosen for its many qualities, with emphasis on rare breeds such as Blue-faced Leicester, Jacob and Shetland, sourced and milled from within the British Isles for a minimal impact on the environment.

I weave with a view to celebrate natural beauty and slow, handworked craftsmanship, rejoicing in timeless traditional designs that echo my influences from the tides, tors and lore of my motherland. Occasionally featuring details of in-house botanically-dyed yarn derived from foraged and found plant fodder. I cherish making beautiful and useful objects to be enjoyed and treasured through generations.
