Our Team
When it comes to spinning the yarns, we rely on Zanele as the head spinner, she shares the knowledge of her craft with the other, younger team members.
Jennet Dlamini has developed a remarkable aptitude for blending related colours into rugs to create an incredibly pleasing effect. She is the longest-standing team member, having started with Shuttleworth Weaving in 1983. We have recently been joined by her granddaughter Angel who is working as a sales lady in the showroom.
Ne Zuma and Noxolo Khanyile are both weavers, they work very well as part of the team in big rugs but are also very capable weavers when working on their own looms. They both come from Lotheni which is a rural settlement in central Drakensberg. Xolo’s bubbly character lights up the shed and gets everyone around her shouting and laughing.
Nomfundo is a part of the Weaving and spinning team, she recently just learnt the art of spinning! Sanele is our maintenance guy who also spins and weaves. He is the second generation, his mother has only recently retired. They found love at work and are now engaged.
