Wool Modern

I will be showing work at this great new show Wool Modern. The show is on in London during Wool Week and will travel the world for the next 2 years to promote the use of wool in fashion, interiors and art. There is lots of great designers showing -Sandra Buckland, Maison Martin Margeila, Mark Fast, Vivienne Westwood..very exciting !

I was very kindly sponsored by Jamieson and Smith, Shetland Wool Brokers. Shetland wool is a great natural and suatainable fibre and is produced in amazing colours and of course the Shetland Islands have such a rich history of knitting so it really is a privilege to use their yarns !
