Where
the thread begins
In the beginning is a sheep on a hillside. We work to an age old pattern of collecting the wool from a local source, washing, carding, spinning and weaving, to make the quietly beautiful rugs that mean, Slender Thread Workshop. The natural variations in tone of each fleece are preserved in the way the yarn is constructed and then transferred directly into the rug by weaving using a simple tapestry technique (which also means that the rugs are fully reversible). The random nature of the material and this method of construction makes each finished item unique.
See here for the fleeces and the finished rugs.
