In the small, Sunshine Coast community of Roberts Creek, B.C., sits a shed, hidden among majestic firs, where the rhythmic thump and clank of an antique shuttle loom can be heard at all hours of the day and night.
“There is no handbook to look up on the internet to tell you how to fix it and run it,” she says. “I had a couple old manuals and help from a friend named Howard, who had operated the looms as a boy in Yorkshire.” The two of them spent hours meeting on Zoom and Skype to put the pieces back together and work out the many kinks.
"To see and hear these machines in action, to smell 100-year-old grease, is an experience akin to time travel,” Magee says of working with her loom.Each blanket takes about 40 minutes to weave. The washing, finishing and pressing – all done by Magee – can add two-to-three additional days to her production timeline.The shuttle loom is special for another reason.
