Southwest Textiles

Ok....so much of this lovely stuff.

Fiber in the Boro

Ok....what fun was had.....so much.....

Weaving Red

Ok....so another project completed from a bolt of red cloth I made earlier this year.  Love the wrap.

Weaving Pillows

Ok.....so I'm not new to weaving, but I'm new to making pillows with my weaving.  These are made with a black cotton warp and a handspun weft.  The fibre was from Spinning Moon Farm and a little paper included.  They turned out better than imagined.

Red Silk Runner

Ok....and second off the loom, a pre-warped red silk table runner.  Still have more of this lovely warp on the loom for who knows what....

Saori Banner

Ok....I know what you're thinking, but.....   I bought a Saori Loom...love it.  I know I had two rigid heddle looms but now I still have two and one is has a new happy home.  So, just did what came to mind this first time....the saori way....  Love that it is hanging in the yard.  Hope the animals love it too.

Saori

Ok....yes, I did it....I finally got the Saori loom....just starting to play.  Love it!!

Sari Silk

Ok.....so while in Monteagle at the Weekend of Fiber retreat, I picked up some lovely sari silk fabric yarn.  Great colours that I'm looking forward to incorporating into projects....weaving, knitting....whatever is calling for them.

Hand Work

Ok.....this blog post was passed on to me by Jan...it's lovely...it is a perfect statement about what we do and love.  Enjoy!

Weaving with Eleanor

Ok....I had the opportunity last Thursday to teach a weaving class to a special little girl...Eleanor.  She picked up everything easily and was a delight....what a fun evening...how lucky I am.

 

Weaving Class

Ok...I like to take pictures...a lot of pictures, but sometimes, I have no idea what's up...because I just forget.  I like having pictures of the students in the classes I've taught, but usually forget.  I guess I'm just too caught up in the moment. 

I recently taught a toe up sock class at Ewe & Company in Kingston Springs, TN and....forgot.  Great class...no pictures. 

However, this time...this one time, I remembered.  I taught a beginners weaving class at Haus of Yarn Sunday and here are just a few shots.  I think they did a great job.  Fun class.

Weaving Sock

 

Ok....so this isn't the first time I've woven sock yarn....but here it is.
