Dales series | Evening light on the fell | 15cm x 20cm
A pretty mini weaving in the Dales series, evocative of the landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales (one of my favourite places!) I use knotted tweedy yarns for dry stone walls and crags, gorgeous hand-dyed yarns in greens and heather colours for the fells and embroidery in the foreground for the hedgerows – so satisfying to weave!

Landscape weavings are a labour of love to capture the feeling of a place, and the tonal variations that make it special.
I love to hand-dye yarns to create a palette of scruptious tones to work with. I also love to play with different textures, such as knotting to add some lumpiness for rocks, hedges and woods. Once the weaving is off the loom it is ready for embroidery to in add hedgerows or grasses in the foreground, and doors and windows on buildings - the finishing touches really help to make the weaving sing!
