A FORMER heating engineer who discovered a love for weaving is now selling his handmade shawls to customers around the world.
Jonty works on his latest creation.
Jonty Arnot and his wife Catriona set up Weaving Home, based in Tarbert, last year and, with support from Business Gateway Argyll and Bute, has steadily grown the business using Face-book as a way to engage with potential and existing customers.
Weaving Home produces hand-woven, unique scarves and shawls using a variety of yarn and colours, taking on commissions from customers from across Scotland and the UK, Bangladesh, America, Italy and Kurdistan.
Jonty said: ‘The business has progressed in a way I didn’t initially expect, with the response and feedback being so overwhelmingly positive that we have sold a lot more of our shawls and scarves than originally envisaged for the year.
