“Obsessed with weaving and working with fantastic yarns to create original, one-of-a-kind pieces for home and body. “
Inspired by the colours and textures of her surroundings, Pat Neal creates fun and functional weaving to decorate both body and home. Each item is individually woven, and no two are ever duplicated. “I am always on the lookout for fabulous yarns with interesting textures to incorporate into my weaving.”
Pat works on traditional, wooden floor looms enjoying the rhythmic, meditative process of winding, threading, and interlacing each thread to create her one-of-a-kind woven art. “Weaving is slow. It gives you space to think and create.”
Pat lives in Myrtle, Ontario just outside the historic town of Port Perry. An old barn on the property was restored and is now home to Naked Lamb Weaving Studio. It houses an ever-changing collection of yarn, looms, and other fibre equipment.
“The first time I sat down at a loom to weave I knew that I had found my passion.”
