Sue Christian

Sue weaves at 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 – she finally has the time to devote to her main love, weaving.

​

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

​

Using yarns made from natural fibres such as silk and wool Sue creates one-off hand woven original textiles, often dying the yarns herself before weaving. Her enthusiasm for colour and pattern is reflected in the vibrancy of her designs.

​

This collection includes scarves, shawls and throws.

​

Sue is also inspired by the functional beauty of traditional Scandinavian textiles, and as a result produces 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.
