Suddenly, I love tapestry more than ever. #tapestry #weaving #yarn #pacifictextilearts 🧶

Sometimes your office is beautiful and your emails are sent from the ocean. #textiles #officejob #thehorizonismylover #pacificocean

I went to my #weaving study group yesterday and we talked about the difference between #lace weaves and other weaving techniques. Then I went to my best friend’s place and tried to talk about the same thing. Get #textile friends. #pacifictextilearts #wssg 🧶 #fiberarts #textileart

I’m about to take a tapestry class! The #pacifictextilearts has such amazing classes and galleries all year long, and sooooo happy to be back in the classroom! #textiles #textilearts #tapestry #weaving #wool #yarn #makeart #woolwillsavetheworld 🧶

Out with the old! I’m replacing these uneven treadle tie ups with shiny new pegs and texolv cords. I’m very excited to weave with a clean shed! #loommaintenance #weaving #textiles #woolwillsavetheworld #loom #floorloom

Settled on a honeycomb pattern in natural brown cotton with white cotton and acid dyed cotton accents. Maybe it’ll be a dish towel? It’s amazing what you get when only change one element of the set up. #weaving #textileart #pacifictextilearts

Learning to understand weaving drafts… threading, tie up, lift sequence… all things I really never thought about because Simple Twill is simple twill, but omg there are so many things at play!!! #weaving #textilearts 🧶

Got to sort wool with an amazing friend today. A mix of Gotland, Icelandic, Finn, Gotland/Finn crosses… so much gorgeous wool. Everyone should know a shepherd. #woolwillsavetheworld #yarn #sheep #knitting #wool #sheep 🧶

Long ago I taught myself how to knit backwards because I hated turning my knitting over when doing sock heels. I haven’t made any socks in a very long time, but it came in handy this week when I tried a new repair technique on my dad’s old ski sweater #Textile #Wool #Knitted #Hand #Art #mending 🧶

My very own Fun With Blending! Taking every fiber in my stash and carding it together for Kitchen Sink yarn. #wool #yarn #textileart 🧶 #makeartnotwar #woolwillsavetheworld

More #handspunyarn. I’m just really leaning into blending everything with everything g to see what happens lol. Stash busting, so to speak. #wool #knitting #textileart

The machine I will miss the most from my mill job is the pin drafter. Pindrafted roving is my very most favorite preparation to hand spin from, but as far as I know, you can’t make it at home. I have all these little bundles I dyed recently that I’d love to pin draft together… #wool #yarn #handspun

There is someone about hand spinning the really fascinates me. The combination of fibers, the blend of colors… hypnotic #wool #handspunyarn #dropspindle @knitty.com 🧶 #yarn

I’m nervous about my Elizabeth Zimmerman surprise jacket sizing. It looks like it’s going to be waaaaay too big, but that’s ok. 🧶

In an effort to remind myself that I do, in fact, know what I’m talking about, I’ve started re-reading a lot of older weaving books. This one is on tapestry in preparation for teaching children how to make potholders on cardboard looms. Check me out on patreon. #woolwillsavetheworld #textilearts

Digging through my tools and fiber stash and I found an old fashioned icord maker and a bunch of loom waste. I think I’m making a worm
