Setting Up The Weaving Studio


We have been so busy! 
First we needed to paint inside and outside and lay a new floor in the Garden Studio. 
Exterior wood preservative in forest green, interior white with a splash of red to give the place a zing and energy. We kept the shabby chic look of the roof and windows. I chose a grey Oak laminate flooring which will be easy to clean and reflects plenty of light.


It has been so good to be unpacking all my craft equipment and arranging the studio so as I can work on the looms. I have added large scatter rugs for warmth and comfort. Everything is so easy to move around, I can bring my table looms to the grey desk or my sewing machines to the centre of the room- just adjust the room for how I wish to work. 


Since this photo, I have bought myself a little kettle to have on the grey ladder shelving, great for a cuppa!


Also since this photo I found some extra shelves for this corner to store all my colourful cotton cones.
I'm sure you will see these things as I take more photos of weaving in progress.


I love that I can now

view and select all my yarns stored on my "Wall Of Wool" and that the warping frame is set up for use. 

The natural light in here is really good. I have two windows which look out over the garden and the woods and fields beyond. 
My new studio will be an inspiring place to weave and spin.
