Tassie Timber Things and the Craft of Fibre Art: Tools for Creativity
Fibre art is a timeless craft that connects us to our creative roots. Whether spinning yarn, crocheting intricate designs, or repairing favourite garments, fibre art reflects patience, skill, and a love for handmade beauty.
At Tassie Timber Things, we’re proud to support this art form by crafting high-quality tools designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind. Here’s a closer look at some of the specialty items we create for fibre artists.
Bobbins for Spinning Wheels
Spinning yarn is an ancient art that has seen a revival in recent years as people embrace slow, sustainable crafting. Our spinning wheel bobbins are essential for turning fibre into beautiful, usable yarn.
Crafted from carefully selected Tasmanian timbers, each bobbin is designed for smooth spinning and durability. We customise bobbins to fit various spinning wheel brands, ensuring they meet each artist's specific needs. Not only do our bobbins work flawlessly, but their natural timber grains also add a touch of elegance to any spinning wheel.
Crochet Hooks
Crocheting is more than a hobby; it’s a therapeutic practice. A comfortable crochet hook can make all the difference during long crafting sessions, so we create crochet hooks with timber handles.
Our ergonomic handles are crafted from Tasmanian timbers, combining comfort and beauty. The smooth finish ensures a comfortable grip, while the natural warmth of wood adds an organic feel to your craft. Available in various sizes, these hooks are perfect for a range of projects.
Tailor Tapes Inspired by Old Designs
Tailor’s tools have evolved over centuries, but sometimes, older designs hold a charm and practicality that modern tools lack. Our tailor tapes are inspired by traditional designs, offering accuracy and nostalgia.
These measuring tapes feature a wooden body, reminiscent of a time when durability and craftsmanship were paramount. The timber handles make the tape easy to roll and store, while the design pays homage to the history of garment-making. Whether you’re a professional tailor or a casual maker, these tapes are a functional piece of art.
Darning Mushrooms
In an age of fast fashion, darning mushrooms are making a comeback as people embrace repair over replacement. Our darning mushrooms are designed to help fibre artists mend socks, sweaters, and other beloved garments with ease.
Turned from Tasmanian timber, each mushroom has a smooth, polished surface that’s perfect for stretching fabric while darning. The sturdy handle ensures a steady grip, making even intricate repairs a breeze. With their beautiful wood grain and practical design, our darning mushrooms make mending a pleasure.
