Welcome to Wishing Well Weaving

You wish, I weave!

Wishing Well Weaving was founded by Ann Mainville-Neeson, a hobby weaver in Ottawa, Canada, to create unique, custom handwoven projects of all kinds, hence the tag line “You Wish, I Weave”.

Ann fell in love with weaving when her dad bought her first loom in 2017. After retiring from a lengthy career as a lawyer, Ann has focussed on learning and honing a variety of weaving skills and techniques. Ann now has numerous looms (one loom is never enough…) and enjoys complex weaving on 4, 8 and 12 shafts, as well as tapestry, inkle and tablet weaving. Ann designs her own projects, experimenting with materials and weave structures. In 2021, to honour her husband’s family Scottish heritage, she designed a family tartan which is registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans.

Ann is also a beginner spinner, focussed mainly on making “chiengora” wool from the fur of her beautiful collies which she uses in crochet, knitting or weaving projects.

Ann is a member of the Ottawa Valley Weavers and Spinners Guild.
