Hello World!

Posted on by Jean

Hello World and welcome to my very own website!! The shop isn’t quite ready yet, but hoping to have it filled with lots of handwoven lovelies by October 1st.

This has been quite the learning experience, but I’m just about there. I don’t want to open the shop until I can fill it up, but I wanted to have my blog available, so here we are.

I’ve transferred over all my old blog posts and will fill in the blank spot since I haven’t blogged much over the last ten years.

A handwoven cloth is a very special thing. This ancient art has provided basic clothing, kept our babies warm, decorated our homes, and added fun accessories to our fashions. It never ceases to amaze me the beauty that comes from some thread and imagination. My fingers touch every inch of every thread at least five times before I even begin to weave. This the warp, the threads that are put on the loom. The thread I weave with, that is wound on a shuttle, is the weft. Once the piece is off the loom, it still needs to be wet finished: washed, pressed, and hemmed or fringed. Believe it or not, the actual weaving of the item is the shortest of all the steps unless it's a very complex pattern. I use only the best quality threads and yarns. I'm a firm believer that if you're going to take the time to do something by hand, do it with the best you can find.
