Crunchberries | From handspun to hat

I couldn’t help myself, handspun yarn is a recent passion. This project came from a batt of mystery fibres (including alpaca, silk, nylon and wool) that I treated myself to in 2008. I created a lofty two ply that let the noils lift out of the final fabric. The hat is a simple slouchy beret with cabled decreases at the top.

Welcome
This is the virtual home of the selected works of Jessica Lee Owens, aspiring shoemaker. Ms Owens completed her BS in Architecture at the Université de Montréal in 2009. Her studies in Architecture, Engineering, Interior Design and Handcraft have all led her to pursue a career in bespoke shoemaking. The passion for designing beautiful, functional objects and bringing them to life with her own hands drives her ambitions. Within the cosmos of the shoe lies art, artefact, form, function, craft, detail, scale, narrative and poetry. Thank you for following her journey.
