Jill
David has been knitting since she was six and
cannot imagine being without needles in her hands. She
took up spinning 20 years ago when she became frustrated
by the difficulty in obtaining natural fibre and woolen
yarns, and by the garish colours of commercially produced
synthetic yarns. Jill loves traditional
patterns and experiments with natural dyes, most of which
she prepares herself, from plants grown on her allotment.
Over the years she has added to her knowledge by spending
time with textile workers in Scotland, Peru, Turkey and
Monument Valley USA, places where one can still learn traditional
skills. As a member of the Association of Weavers Spinners
and Dyers, Jill has had work shown at both UK and Welsh
exhibitions. She loves making heirloom baby shawls and
will make one to order given two months notice.
