MAKER OF THE DAY

Loomiere Weaves

Loomiere Weaves is all about colour, taking an ancient craft and giving it a modern twist.

Vinca Brown creates one-off handwoven scarves and accessories in vibrant, stunning colour combinations designed in modern patterns and made using 4-shaft vintage looms.

Using only mulesing-free merino yarn that is hand dyed in the UK, Vinca sources the wool for every scarf separately making them all one-off pieces to be treasured.

She loves working with this soft, luxurious merino yarn because it is beautifully tactile to work with - every inch of it passes through her fingers during the weaving process.

Vinca is fascinated by the mathematical nature of weaving and the meditative feel the process gives her.

She spends her time between her studio in Hackney Wick and Dungeness - both places are a continuous source of inspiration in her work.
