Circular Looms

Circular looms can be a fun way to add floral embellishments and surface variety to woven scarves or tapestries.

Broken Threads

There have been (damaged) broken threads this week.

Fibre Alternatives

These are some alternative fibres I have in my stash that I’m planning to try weaving one day. Recycled saris, thick cotton cord, raffia, & ribbons.

In the weaver’s studio, life is always “hanging by a thread.” Here you will find posts of the tangles and unraveling of a weaver’s journey. You are sure to find a lot of bad weaving puns.

Links & Resources

Here you can find numerous links and resources I have collected on weaving. I believe we learn best by approaching art and craft from many angles.

Pop-up Shop

My handwoven textiles are available online once a year. The next pop-up shop will be in the Autumn of 2023. Be sure to follow me on Facebook or Instagram if you want to learn more.
