Christine Schimerl
Wiener Web-Waren
Austrian distributor for Ashford HandicraftsAbout 15 years ago my love for weaving awakened. Equipped with my Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom, using tabby-weaving as my base, a style which has nearly inexhaustible possibilities including weft- and warp-faced patterns, I embarked on a fascinating journey of discovery. My desire to create more complex patterns in weaving led me to develop a technology which has enabled me to create any 4-shaft-pattern on the Rigid Heddle Loom in the simplest way possible.

Additionally, in the past years, I have also become qualified to spin fibres from all sorts of animals, as well as flax, and to dye them with plants.

 

The simplicity of warping and the joy of weaving on the Rigid Heddle Loom correspond well with my need to experiment a great deal. Meanwhile I have of course also become occupied with “more-than-four-shaft”-weaving on an Ashford table-loom.

 

It is my personal goal not to make mass-produced products, but rather to create unique beautifully detailed pieces instead. It’s a great pleasure for me to share my knowledge with interested students of all ages, I therefore give spinning and weaving lessons regularly.

 

Becoming the Austrian distributor for the famous brand, Ashford-Handicrafts, in 2004 enables me to offer you a wide range of spinning-wheels, looms, carding-equipment as well as premium wool (sliver, blends and yarns) from New-Zealand.

 

You are welcome to contact me or send me your order either via my online-shop, e-mail or phone!

 

Looking forward to getting in touch with you J
