About Astrobabe Textiles

Astrobabe Textiles

Weaving a variety of textiles in all kinds of colours and patterns.

I am a retired astronomer who has been weaving as a hobby over the last nine years. I have a range of different looms in my studio on the top floor of my house in central Cambridge, where I weave using a variety of yarns: mainly home-spun wool along with tencel, bamboo and silk. Originally trained as a mathematician, I enjoy the symmetrical patterns created in shadow weave; but my first love is always combining and mixing colours!

    What a joy to find such beautiful work, ridiculously underpriced, by such a talented maker. Absolutely gorgeous scarf.

    Bought as an extra special gift for a friends ‘big’ birthday! This scarf was absolutely stunning - the colours were even better in real life. Beautifully woven - good length. Great communication with Carolin too! Thank you so much.
