What sets River Run Weaving apart is the creative process, which begins with
the sheep's wool. We raise our own flock so that we can offer natural
and custom-dyed colors for all our products, which include handwoven
rugs, saddle blankets, and tapestries. We also create handcrafted
knit wool socks in standard and custom sizes, as well as boot socks.
The
weaving techniques we use are basic and as old as time. The loom is
where art and craft come together and we use several looms during the
creation of our goods. As the weaver, Sharon operates a one-woman
studio, spinning wool into yarn before actually designing, dying and then
weaving. She has won numerous awards for her spinning, weaving, and
rug finishing.
Sharon and Will live on a 10-acre farm in Montana where they raise their
sheep and llamas. Will is a wonderful shepherd and the flock thrives
under his tender care. The wool produced by the flock is especially
suited for rugs with a good sheen and long-wearing staple.
We
take pride in using time-honored processes and receive much joy in producing
high quality art. No two pieces are the same, since you make the
choices concerning color and pattern. Please explore the samples
scattered on our site and call or e-mail to discuss the details of your
custom order.
