Welcome to Sue Christian Handweaver

I weave at my home on the Shropshire/Welsh border – the Welsh side of Offa's Dyke; the English side of the border. After a life-long interest in textiles – sewing, knitting, spinning – I finally have the time to devote to my main love, weaving.

Currently I have two looms; a small one that I use for sampling and for narrower items like scarves, and a much larger Swedish loom that is both my main workhorse and a beautiful example of wooden engineering.

Using high quality yarn made from natural fibres such as silk, wool, linen, and cotton, I create one-off hand woven original textiles. I am enthused by colour and pattern, and this is reflected in the vibrancy of my designs. My collections include scarves, shawls, throws, cushions and bags.

I am also inspired by the functional beauty of traditional Scandinavian textiles, and as a result of this I produce a range of hand woven domestic textiles in linen and cotton, including individually designed hand woven towels – the ultimate luxury for the kitchen or bathroom that has everything!

Commissions are always welcome; whether it's a scarf to compliment your new coat, silk stoles for your bridesmaids, or hand towels to match your Aga. Please do get in touch to discuss your requirements
