Handspun Mats
These gorgeous mats are perfect for displaying a special candle (in a safe container), vase of flowers or other precious trinkets and they make a beautiful gift for the person who has everything!
Each mat is made with love - the natural fibre yarn is first handspun on either one of my spindles or spinning wheels, and then woven on a little wooden pin loom to create a very special piece to treasure.
The colours in the 'Heather' mat remind me of the Scottish highland, with soft green and heather like purples which combine to create a very soft muted tone with a lovely texture.
'Cappuccino' as the name suggests is a blend of browns and creams.
'Summer Skies' is a gentle blend of pale blue and coral pinks.
'Blueberry' is a stunning combination of blues and purples.
'Raven' is natural black Alpaca wool and would make an awesome addition to any Halloween decor, along with 'Pumpkin Spice', which is a gorgeous orange.
'Sorbet' is a combination of blues, purples, yellows and white.
'Indigo' is of course a lovely deep blue.
'Paint Palette' is a beautiful colourful mix of bright handspun yarn, but does contain knots and quirks which make it especially charming.
'Umber' is a beautiful combination of natural shades of brown.
'Pewter' is a subtly variegated silver.
'Obsidian' is a pearly black with lighter silvery grey flecks throughout.
'Berry Patch' is a lovely subtle variegation of reds.
'Pewter Plum' is a beautiful rich purple with silver and grey tones.
'Glacier' is a lovely soft variegated blue with silvery white flecks throughout.
'Cinnamon' is rust coloured and has been created with a deliciously chunky yarn which produces a thicker, bumpier texture.
'Fudge' is a variegated mix of creams and browns.
These mats are an eco-conscious option, as the fibres are naturally sustainable and compostable, ensuring that this handcrafted item can return to the earth after many cherished years, rather than adding to the enormous problem of textile waste produced by the mass made industry.
Please note that due to the beautiful unique characteristics of handspun yarn, there may be slight differences between mats created with the same yarn.
