Small Handspun Mats
* Please note - I am taking a little break until Monday 5th January. Any orders placed will be posted on my return with the exception of local pick up, which can be arranged up until Tuesday 23rd December.*
These gorgeous little mats are perfect for displaying special tiny trinkets or to protect your furniture from glasses or cups, and make a beautiful gift for the person who is difficult to buy for.
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 pin loom to create a very special piece to treasure.
'Snowflake' and 'Blizzard' are both gorgeous soft gray tones, however, 'Snowflake' has been spun finer on a mini Turkish spindle, so the mats are finer and more delicate than 'Blizzard'.
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.
'Plum' is a lovely blend of rich burgundy and olive tones.
'Umber' ' is a beautiful combination of natural shades of brown, while 'Mocha' is similar, although a bit darker brown and it has some natural lighter tones through it.
'Teal' is a deep turquoise blue.
'Russet' is an autumn red/orange.
'Clotted Cream' is a delicious creamy neutral.
'Latte' is a pale brown/beige that is quite similar to hessian.
'Natural Cotton' is exactly that, a natural creamy colour and created with handspun cotton.
'Autumn' is a lovely bronze orange.
'Enchanted' is a very sweet pale purple with other pastel colours throughout.
'Obsidian' is a pearly black with lighter silvery grey flecks throughout
'Amethyst' is a beautiful rich burgundy plum with silver and grey tones.
'Glacier' is a lovely soft variegated blue with silvery white flecks throughout.
'Cinnamon' is a rust colour, and 'Ivory' is a natural cream and they are both created with deliciously chunky yarns which produce a thicker, bumpier texture.
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.
