This wild flower meadow tapestry is one long band of blooms rising out of the grasses, with ducks tucked away at its base for anyone who looks closely.

Hanging it
The wide format is made for the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard, where the meadow can stretch out like a frieze. It arrives without a sleeve or rod pocket. Sew hook-and-loop tape along the top edge and fix the matching strip to a wooden batten; a clip rail or a tailor-sewn rod casing are the alternatives.
Woven freehand
The wool is spun by hand and coloured with plant dyes, then each flower head is built directly on the loom, the picture decided as the rows go up. Because nothing is traced, every flower head in the band is the weaver's own.
