Meet the Makers'

We are excited to introduce our production staff, Anna Ross and Constance Schimmeyer.

Anna and Constance are passionate about continuing the 200-year-old legacy of producing high-quality woollen textiles and are now weaving full time at Knockando.

Anna: “Being part of production at Knockando and keeping its legacy alive is massively fulfilling. It has been fantastic to get to know the machines over the past 9 months and speaking to visitors, sharing appreciation for the skills required to create bespoke woollen cloth.”

Constance: “Learning how to produce bespoke, woollen cloth in a one-of-a-kind historic environment has been a fantastic opportunity, providing a unique chance to acquire skills needed to master all processes involved. From warping, beaming, drawing in, to weaving and darning the cloth. It is fascinating to see a design come to life on our looms during the process.”
