I love colour and texture and using my own hand-dyed, hand-spun yarns from natural fibres, local sheep and alpaca fleece, to create my weavings.
In 1988 having been spinning for about 5 years I gained a post-graduate Diploma in Handloom, Weaving, Spinning and Dyeing at Bradford University and have been running Textile workshops for the last 25 years.
"Really enjoyed my day with Fiona and covered a whole raft of related subjects too. Very knowledgeable and patient tutor!! "

" Thanks so much for your swift review, Jane. It was lovely to meet you. Good luck with your Spinning and Inkle Weaving. I look forward to helping you with your warping mill next and seeing the finished inkle braid/ribbon.
Warm Wishes

"Such a fab 2 days - really exciting to be able to produce knittable wool with just 2 days tuition. Fiona was so patient and encouraging even when she had to repeat things over and over when I just couldn't remember how to do something. Came home and had bought my wheel within 24 hours - felt really inspired. I really want to go back again when I have had some practice at home and develop further skills"
Shropshire Weavers responded:
" Thanks Nicci. It was lovely to meet you and to get you started on your spinning journey. I look forward to seeing you again. Happy Spinning!"
"I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Fiona. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for all things yarn related is fantastic. I learned a lot and gained confidence in a process that I had no knowledge of prior to the course. I look forward to booking more courses with Fiona in future. Thanks Fiona :)"
Shropshire Weavers responded:
" Thanks Fflur, for your kind remarks. It was lovely to meet you. I hope you've had time to do more dyeing..... Look forward to seeing you again sometime.
Warm Wishes
Fiona"
"I had such a lovely day with Fiona. She is generous with both passing on her incredible knowledge and skill and with her hospitality. I left feeling informed and inspired and am intending to book another course."
