Welcome
Welcome to Naturally Sheepish - the trading name of Isobel McCallum Scott, a spinner, weaver and “natural” dyer for around 25 years.
Since being seduced by a spinning wheel, there are few days when I don’t spin something - from coarse wools through to fine silks. Along the way, I gained a Certificate of Achievement in Handspinning in 1997 as well as the Anna Bowers Award for teaching of Spinning. The yarns I produce are used in knitting, crochet and weaving of all sorts, while the remainder is sold to other enthusiasts of “hand spun”. Tuition is offered in Spinning for both Beginners and Improvers. A variety of Wheels are available for your use in the Studio. In my working life, I was a Primary teacher and believe that Spinning should be a fun activity, taught in a relaxed but professional manner.
After spinning, my next passion is for Weaving, often using handspun “naturally” dyed yarns. Rugs, cushions and bags are all made on an upright rug loom. A varied selection of Tapestry Weavings have been produced on simple wooden frames, from mini-weaves , a few inches across to much larger wall-hangings.
You are invited to browse through my unique collection of individually crafted items which include rugs, cushions, weavings, braided necklaces and handspun yarns.
I hope you enjoy browsing and look forward to hearing from you.
