ANA BALFOUR, WEAVER & KNITTER.

Ana trained at St Martins School of Art and set up her own business in London before moving to Cumbria. She runs her own small flock of sheep and sends their wool for spinning in a Welsh mill. When she gets it back she dyes it using natural plant dyes. When the wool is dyed it gets knitted into jerseys, cushions, hats and gloves like the ones shown in this website. She has a traditional hand loom for weaving cushions and scarves.
