Loom Frame Mini Project

Helen has been trying her hand at loom art and has produced this little landscape using one of our new  frame designs.

You can buy a full set of our loom frames to try here. We also sell them individually on Twisted Sheep

A new site and more products

We now have a new web site https://twistedsheep.co.uk/ and quite a few new products.

We have weaving loom frames like this

and sock blockers in various sizes

to add to our range of laser cut, sustainably produced, wooden products.

Full sized egg boxes

Having made an egg box for our bantam eggs, it is now the turn of our full sized chickens.

You can buy them here https://twistedsheep.co.uk/Products/EggBox

New Egg Box Design

Early this year we added a couple of bantam hens to our small flock of chickens. The only problem it, their eggs are so small they fall through the holes in our normal sized egg box.

It's not really yarn craft related, but we needed a box to hold the eggs laid by our bantam hens.

I hope you agree that it is quite a cute little egg box and we have also created a full size version so out normal size chickens will not feel left out (not that they care).

We thought other people may also like a nice sustainable egg box. They are made from beach plywood and given a coat of our own, food (and environment) friendly, bees wax polish.

You can buy one here.

If you shop locally for your eggs, why not see if the shop or farm will let you bring your own reusable box.

If you own a shop or chicken farm, we can create you egg boxes with a design of your choosing on the side.

Fun With Looms

We spent a day designing our own take on the loom. Sephy spent over two hours learning to use it.

We may release them as a Twisted Sheep product soon.

First Of Our Knitting Tools

The first test run included a couple of buttons and some knitting measures. The power on the laser was set a bit high so everything came out a bit over cooked.

After a few experiments we have our first products.

Buttons Buttons and More Buttons

As our contribution to the corona virus support, we took to making buttons required to make ear savers that stop face mask elastic rubbing your ears.

They were simple four hole buttons cut from acrylic.

After extracting and sanding over 200 buttons, I don't think the children ever want to see a button again.
