Dear Lea - I feel like I am watching myself, 40 years ago! I studied for my degree in Textiles - Woven and Constructed Fabrics at WWU in WA. I had always been drawn to hand spinning, weaving and COLOR. There is something absolutely magical and satisfying about making beautiful, woven fabrics from my own hand-dyed, hand-spun yarns! I have never lost that deeply rewarding experience of creating useful textiles from my own hands. Watching your lovely video warmed my heart, because it means these essential skills are still alive. I share with you one of my favorite quotes about the textile arts: “And the works of their hands clothed the living, honored the dead and declared their delight!” Thank you for keeping this art alive.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Julie! It was lovely to read, and I love the quote! It's really nice to hear from you, thank you again, Love Lea 🌿🌼🍃💗
I love all the Earthy colors and the textures...the video if your environment, the kettles of boiling water and onion skin dyes ...all so relaxing. Great carding machine..will last for sure. Love the beautiful happy sheep too...
The shawls and scarves are exquisitely beautiful! Your way with texture and design and colour blows me away! And the way you've styled them is just stunning. I love the mirror-work clothing you are wearing with the natural coloured big shawl/blanket,
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!! That means a lot to me. I'm glad you like the shawls. The mirrored dress I made from an old Indian wall hanging, circular skirt, and some fabric scraps 🌿🌸💗
Such beauty! Your daughter is so pretty as well as your sheep! Your grounds stir something deep inside me! Thank you and I liked and subscribed to you! Many Blessings ❤
Great video and lovely work, those colours and textures! I used to hand spin many years ago and enjoyed experimenting with natural dyes - onion skins , lichens , and elderberries amongst others. Brings back happy memories ❤️
Your channel just popped up today. OMG your shawls are beautiful. Such lovely colours, and all handmade too! Gonna grab a cuppa, and go through some more videos. Not going to get much housework done this morning. 😂 Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Notification bell is on...this channel makes my heart happy and reminds me to pick up a needle and thread... love your creations ...thank you for being on line ❤🐑
I enjoyed your video very much. I love your home and the interiour and I love your personal style too. The wool and the weaving is beautiful. P.S. You are the first person ever where I liked the nose piercing. It suits your features very well, enhances your natural beauty. On others it reminds me always of cattle in the fields ;-) lol. Scorpio greetings from Fairy Tale Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany. 🙃😊
OHDEARGAWD !!!!! How GORGEOUSLY beautiful...from the fat happy sheep...to your designs 🎉 your choice of colors is so spot on!!!!! That big grey/brown mix...fit me totally! 🐑🐏
