My weavings are very basic in technique, composition and color The process and finished product is a combination of weaving, embroidery and appliqué . They are woven on a small homemade frame loom with no moving parts. I’ve made my own stick shuttles, needles and beater.
I purchase raw fleece of various sheep breeds and colors, preferring wool with long silky fibers. The wool is hand washed, carded, spun and dyed if appropriate. I’m fairly new to spinning and love the process. It’s a happy place to be. I’ve realized that I can sometimes use underspun or overspun wool to an advantage for texture and depth.
