About Paivi Suomi

I am a hand weaver, spinner and dyer. I use natural materials, wools, cottons, linen and natural plant dyes in my work.  I specialise in making traditional Sami crafts, such as band weaving, reindeer leather, pewter thread. I like to work with some of the almost forgotten crafts such as nalbinding, and fish tanning. I provide instruction on a one-to-one basis from my home studio in weaving, hand spinning and dyeing.

Naturally Plant Dyed Yarns

All of my yarns are hand dyed in small batches. I use natural plant dyes such as madder root, brazilwood, alkanet, logwood, birch bark, indigo, onion skins, apple tree leaves, fungi and locally grown flowers, leaves, and barks that I source in the fields around my studio.
