This song has become a firm friend.

To sing and spin is a natural combination.

And to sing of the Bog, whilst working with a Bog Oak Spindle and Madder dyed rovings in the old oak woodland above our home, is a blessing that I am humbled and grateful to share here.

The song that I am singing in my own way is from the Album ‘Songs for Three Voices’ by @rufousnightjarband 🙏🕊️🌹

We have a sale on these Spindles until the end of the Month 🧶🔥🫀🕊️

Thank you to Jules for capturing this gentle moment and for crafting ancient beauty in modern times @hyphal_node 🌹

To spin with an Irish Bog Oak and Dartmoor Oak Spindle is a way to connect to a fragment of the past- a glimpse at what is left of a tree-being who once thrived thousands of years ago. We can then imagine and feel the wonders of the elements in a visceral sense.

This is humble, olde magic at its most potent.

6 of these Beauties, handcrafted and conjured by the deft hands of my Partner Jules @hyphal_node are available to find their Workers,

As I grow older, I find myself yearning for more meaningful, slow-made things. Bespoke, made only for me, by a person who understands the earth, and whose creation helps me understand it better, too.

Rose Riedel O’Brien is such a person. A master weaver from the wilds of England, she created an autumnal shawl with threads of wool dyed in hot pots of madder root. The root gave the wool the colors of my favorite season in auburn, russet, and the hues of turning wild grass.

Rose mailed the shawl to greet me when I arrived in Europe this weekend. I’m here to visit family and spend time with places I love like the Rhine River and Hildegard of Bingen’s abbey.

The shawl came with a beautiful bog wood pin made by her partner, Jules. The fabric smells of smoky hearth. I can imagine the fire and the weaver spending many nights together in the creation of this beautiful object.

It feels, if I’m being honest, rather sentient. I suspect that is because it is full of the living goodness of the earth, imbued in the threads and the weaving.

Rose calls it the Red Earth Shawl. A fitting name for something that feels as though it carries the earth within. You can find Rose at Wild Rose Weaving.

We are the Weavers ✨⭕️🌹🧶

Today I’m celebrating my friendship with @hannaleighsong and the beauty of the space of collaboration that we have been weaving together over the last few years @weaving_remembrance

It’s an Honour to transfer these ancient and sacred Ways of spinning, weaving and natural dye Lore alongside Sisters.

And I am so grateful for the power of the internet to connect us through the sanctuary of Craft across the globe. Each of us united by thread and its humble magic.

On Wednesday, we begin the 2nd addition of ‘We are the Weavers’ which is at its core an Ode to the magic and meaning found in the beauty of these ancient skills.

We will journey with connection to both Hand and Land and how working with the natural fibres found all around us can bring us into closer connection to All of Life and illuminate our innate belonging to the Great Web.

It will be a joy to gather and share, and I hope to see you there. You can read more about this offering via my Link Tree 🌳🙏🕊️✨🌹

I’m celebrating the varied ways that Jules and I collaborated for our recent project working on the yarn and needles for Voices of Celtic Wisdom with @weaving_remembrance and @hannaleighsong ✨

We mainly worked on our part of the process separately, taking it in turns to look after our young son.

1. The ‘blank’ oak wood that Jules crafted with to make 250 beautiful and practical needle pendants alongside finished needles
2. Our skein production line (with serious expressions 😅) in the caravan for the 250 warp threads using wool from a Shepherdess in the North moor. We only did this part of the process together for 1 hour but it made it so much faster.
3. Skeins in the half light ready to be sent to their crafters.
4. The sound of many wooden needles clanking together was so satisfying!
5. Holding the warp yarn and letting all the hours spent processing wool last month sink into my bones.
6. I love the variation of grain and colour, each needle was made from Dartmoor oak and is entirely bespoke.

Full Moon blessings ✨

12 Hedgerow Spindles have been joyfully plucked from the land around our Dartmoor home and shaped into thread-makers by the deft hands of my partner Jules.

These spindles are ready to find their workers. Each one comes with naturally dyed and local rovings to spin. And a sweet cotton bag to hold your dreams and threads and inspiration.

Jules and I have also made a tutorial video that accompanies the bundle of wool and wood. It’s a 10 minute focus on this humble act of magic.

It can be bought separately if you desire to learn how to make your own but would like advice on how to work with it ✨
