nICKY SPINS

Llanrhaedr, Denbighshire

Textile Designer

Nicky lives on a smallholding in North Wales with 3 cocker spaniels, 1 cat, chickens, a small flock of sheep and quite a few bees! This is where the magic of processing fibres into finished pieces takes place. Alongside using her own fleeces, Nicky incorporates other British wools and often creates bold textures with silk and other effects.

The farm gates provide a talking point for passing walkers, as it’s often decorated with boldly coloured hand dyed fleece, drying yarns or finished items!

Nicky demonstrates and teaches both spinning and weaving, opening her studio by arrangement for visitors.
