A Tail of Yarn
I LOVE yarn but I HATE waste, so I spin local animal fibres with sustainable textile waste to create eye-catching art yarns. What isn’t spun is either felted to create vegetarian sheepskin items or carded and woven into peg loom rugs. I use my yarns for Saori-inspired weaving - designs and styles are minimal and functional. I’m passionate about inspiring others to keep traditional skills alive, so I create spinning and weaving kits and offer tuition and workshops.
All That Glistens
Hand painted glassware, mostly with witchcraft and gothic themes. All items are rescued and recycled

Energy
Nadder Community Energy
Community energy is a growing movement in which energy generation is owned not by large industrial companies but by local communities, with the profits invested back into the community.
Typical ways to generate renewable energy are wind turbines, heat pumps, biomass boilers, anaerobic digesters, hydro schemes and PV (solar) panels on roofs or mounted on the ground.
Community energy groups also work on combating fuel poverty and improving energy efficiency by modifying insulation and draught-proofing.
Salisbury Community Energy
SCE’s purpose is to drive the uptake of renewable energy locally to fight climate change.

No direct swap is necessary. In monetary terms, the LETSystem is like a sophisticated form of barter. It offers free credit! It has to.
