I think this is the most beautiful fabric I’ve ever woven. I had an amazing teacher at the Mid Atlantic Fiber Association last month and this deflected double weave structure has been unlocked for me!

Actual footage of me waiting until next Sunday at 9. #gildedage

I wove a series of dish towels as goodbye gifts for my coworkers. It’s bittersweet to walk away from the classroom, but I’m excited for my next adventure.

14 years as a classroom teacher. We went through fires, floods, pandemics, and earthquakes together. A dish towel was the least I could offer! ❤️

Saturdays are for weaving!

One warp, nine designs. Fun with color and plain weave with Jane Stafford’s Asymmetry! The yarns are all from Fab Scrap, too. #reduce #reuse #recycle

Happy first 80° day, Brooklyn. Anyway, here’s a wool scarf I finished.

8-shaft block twill 15” x 80”

Warp: hand spun 3-ply corriedale dyed by Primrose Yarn
Weft: two strands of silk and two strands of wool/cashmere from cones I got at Fab Scrap.

Away it goes into storage until the autumn!

Met these ewes and brand new lambs this weekend! My heart is full.

Alpaca fleece update: I natural-dyed a third of the yarn fern green, a third pistachio green and kept a third natural.

I used weld (3% wof, fern | 1% wof, pistachio) and overdyed with indigo (4 dips, fern | 1 dip, pistachio)

My kitchen smelled awful yesterday but these results make it worth it!

I injured my knee last weekend. It’s been a looooong week of no spinning, no weaving, no contemplative walks…

But I did finish this embroidery kit of a madder plant.

I finished spinning the alpaca fleece I picked up at Rhinebeck last year! I skirted and scoured it. Then I picked out the guard hairs, carded, spun, and plied it.

1893 yards, 16.25 oz, 2-ply, semi-woolen

Back at work and sneaking in a few rows before the 7th graders comes in. Stay warm, NYC!

Grateful for loom time today.
