What's on the Loom?




















The latest project is a 20/2 hand painted silk warp and dyed silk weft. This is a 4 shaft advancing twill scarf. It's coming out lovely and really something to keep on top of the treadling!!!















I'm always playing with colorgrown organic cotton. This is a towel or table runner....might even make it into a wider scarf...in a modified Star of Bethlehem pattern. I've used the olive green, sage green and caramel in the warp. For this particular piece I'm using dark green for the weft.














My rug loom is warped and working. I have two small rugs on already. I thought I'd use us the cut pieces I had on hand and cut the and dye the next colors as I want them.




Our daughter Annah makes fun creatures...these are my mascots cheering me on. I have some of my woven items on the second shelf and 10/3 pearl cottons and mohair yarn for sale on the 3rd shelf. the first shelf has some white pearl cotton in 10/2 I think and some sunbrella.

  1. Your studio is gorgeous. Is your stash as big as mine? Love your weaving. I bought another loom and still have to warp it!
