People often ask about how we became weavers. 

Rod fell in love with what he calls the "simple mechanics" of the looms so we bought them and shipped them to Oamaru where he restored them and taught himself to weave. Sue has always had an affinity with textiles, and weaving appealed to her sense of storytelling through design, colour and custodianship of traditional textile artistry.

We weave using a Hattersley Domestic Weaving System, which includes three cast iron looms and a warping mill that are operated by hand and feet, and is possibly the only set of its kind left in the world.
