I bought an amazing kit from Nest Embirdery… and I want so many more! It’s so easy to follow even an absolute beginner (like me) can turn out something awesome 🕷️🧶

🧶I had some October vibes, so I’m weaving jack-o-lanterns! I started with jakaku sisan swirls on the side for a misty-ghostly feel, but then I figured spiders were much more apropos!

Finished weaving another band last night. I love all the different motifs I was able to try out. My handspun made specifically for Andean-backstrap style weaving. Learning this is still my happy place right now. 🧶

I spun up this HipStrings fiber on a spur-of-the moment impulse, and it was glorious! 🧶

So many things I could revisit. How about this Stella Luna shawl in handspun yarn 🧶!
A shawl pinned to the floor to stretch it to shape, knitted in a pink to blue gradient with sparkling black stripes.

Pretty happy with finishing this band (woven Andean-backstrap style with pumac maqin and mayo q’enko wacaq ñawi patterns). Totally handmade with handspun yarn, some of which I also dyed, and every part of the loom (basically sticks, string, and me) as well! 🧶

Did you count your hands? Pretty sure a solid hand-made plying ball is the best thing around!
