Welcome to Slow Spun.
Slow Spun is a Northcote based, handcraft micro-business.
I specialise in spinning and knitting luxury fibres, mostly fine merino, silk and alpaca, with the odd cashmere and mohair goat, camel and rabbit fleece for variety. Fibre is sourced mainly from regional Victoria (particularly the Euroa district) and from the North West coast of Tasmania.
Handspun wool is light, soft, airy and very very warm. It’s especially good for sensitive people who normally can’t wear wool next to their skin. Luxury fibres in particular, are soft and delightful to wear.
Slow Spun’s hats, scarves, mittens, necklaces are originally designed and completely made by hand. Inspiration for many of the designs come from traditional Norweigan motifs, but with an individual Northcote twist. They make wonderful presents! Slow Spun can also supply handspun yarn for that special project.
Slow Spun is happy to take commissions and to create work to your desires. Contact Janet on slowspun@gmail.com
Hallo from the world of spinning and knitting. My latest venture has been a stall with Miriam at the CERE's Harvest Festival. And we had a great time and sold lots of our work, which was a wonderful validation. People were fascinated by the spinning wheels and the spinning process. So we had a very social time as well as making some money. It was a great day.
