This tablet weaving project has been quite the challenge but it has brought me so much joy! This is the finest thread I’ve woven with to date and getting the gradient just right across the warp added an extra layer of difficulty, but well worth it!

I’ve had this project in mind from the moment I got my hands on the Penelope band loom. These are my very first handwoven shoelaces! They are a perfect match with my Allbirds.

Sweater progress is going well! I’ve reached the point where I will be sectioning off the arms and starting in on the body with the gradient. I’m so excited to see how the gradient develops.

The Sunflower Field singles are done! The next step was to join the singles together. I intentionally left the beginnings and ends of each copy fluffy so that I could spin splice the ends together for a continuous yarn.

Sunflower Fields spun on Mixy Spindles. I love how fast these spindles spin. When the fiber arrived I knew I had to order a few more Mixy Spindle whorls to coordinate with the spin. 🧶
