Hand spun goodness

I have been learning to spin and here are some examples. The wool is BFL also known as Blue Faced Leicester. It is along haired breed of sheep.

I can't wait to work it into a project on my triloom.

Finally finishing my shawl

I must confess I have had this shawl on my Triloom for some time... Now I am in the home from of finishing. I am trying to decide on a yarn for the border. I saw my Triloom teacher today. She does incredible stuff with a Triloom...I would love to be as talented as she is.

Weaving For Relaxation

With all of the nasty viruses going around, weaving can be a great source of relaxation. Whether you are doing rigid heddle weaving, continuous strand weaving or floor loom weaving. It is a great way to express yourself and escape. Our craft can join and connect people in a common interest. The sense of community that comes from sharing weaving can bridge a great many differences .Working with ones hands can bring great joy. The joy and community are also elements of life that promote health. I try to spend some time every day on my craft. Sometimes it is weaving, sometimes it is spinning yarn and most recently I am learning to sew. (Oh the ideas for the fabric)

Back to weaving
