Cariboo Handwoven

Living in the Cariboo region of central British Columbia, I weave luxurious wool blankets, soft cotton blankets of all sizes, hand and bath towels, and classy scarves. Everything I make is designed for long-lasting use and enjoyment. I blog about various projects, finished products, and thoughts and ideas about weaving and being a weaver.

About Me

My photo
Jane Perry
My weaving ranges from classic and earthy to funky and energetic. I use heathery Shetland wools, soft but sturdy cottons, and my own handspun wool and alpaca. From the spark of an idea through to the meticulous fringing or hemming, my handwoven items are designed, produced and presented with joy and delight.
