Weaver Rae handwoven accessories are all designed and handmade by me in West Cornwall. Using my unique eight-shaft Dobby floor loom, that was built for me by my partner. Find out more about the making of my Scarves, Shawls, Cowls and Mitts here: Process and my Loom here: Loom

You can read about how I came to become a self-taught weaver and what inspires me, here: About

100% of my yarn comes from sheep who are raised within the British Isles. The fleece is then processed at either a mill in Yorkshire, UK before it reaches me for weaving. Occasionally I am able to source beautiful Cornish and westcountry yarn from The Natural Fibre Company in Launceston, Cornwall.

I choose British wool to utilise a fibre that is natural, native and abundantly available locally, hence reducing unnecessary carbon and waste. Buying British gives me more confidence in animal welfare standards which are of utmost priority to me. This comes at a premium but I wouldn't have it any other way

Wool is a fantastic fibre and possesses a multitude of properties that make it extra special. To gain the most out of your woollies there are ways you can prolong longevity, so they can be enjoyed for generations

Each product now comes with an organic drawstring bag for safe-keeping when not being worn or whilst in transit. I have written a Care Guide, so please take some time to have a read and pick up some handy tips on washing and storage: Product Care

A Care Guide is also provided with each purchase

Gift-wrapping is free with each and every purchase of one of my handwoven adornments. Carefully hand-wrapped in planet-friendly paper with a little narrative scroll to illuminate the story that inspired each small batch piece, finished with a bow of yarn

It is then placed carefully into it's own GOTS organic drawstring gift bag before dispatch - with the option of a hand-written personalised message for the recipient - this can be arranged by adding the note where prompted at the Checkout

All wool has a micron count, the higher the micron then the softer the wool. As the products I make are usually worn next to the skin, it is important that the yarn I choose is of a mid to high micron count. And hence suitable for next-to-skin wear for the majority of people

On bare skin some types of wool can be found to be slightly irritating. During the process of milling yarn, the naturally occuring oils are stripped from the fibre to aid in the spinning or dying processes. This can leave wool fibres less supple and hence more itchy. Natural oils are replaced with regular wear of a woollen product, which therefore makes the fibres naturally softer. This is also true with the warming of fibres with wear. Through the technical finishing processes of a newly woven product these fibres can be softened all the more

Some people choose to wear a thin silk scarf under their woollen product though this is quite uncommon. The best method to soften any wool found to be itchy, is to wear it, where you natural body oils and warmth will eventually soften the fibres

Wool does not require regular washing unlike many other materials, please see the Product Care Guide for details on best practice

There are many ways you can wear a Blanket Scarf

You can wear it like a big scarf; with a shawl pin across the shoulders; with a belt around the waist; like a bolero; as a lap blanket; or as a footer blanket on a bed
