Welcome to Claire's web site!
www.claireboley.co.uk

I was taught to knit by my grandmother when I was 6 years old, by the time I was 13 I was hand knitting  jumpers using commercial knitting patterns. I have been hand spinning different fibres for over 20 years, and have had numerous solo exhibitions across the South West of England. of my hand spun hand knitted garments that I design myself.
 I use eco friendly fibres such as wool, silk, alpaca, mohair, soya protein and bamboo. The natural dyes I use are from plants that I grow in my garden or plants I get from the hedgerow when I am out for a walk. 


I am a full member of the
 Somerset Guild of Craftsmen 
Westward Ho and Bideford Art Society,
I write articles regularly in The Smallholder and  Home Farmer magazine, on different subjects including hand spinning, natural dyeing and hand knitting.

The Good Life Press Ltd has published my book  'Hand Spinning and natural dyeing'  it is available in book
 shops across the UK and in the USA
