A new home, in a row house in Jackson Ward, Richmond. The studio looks out on the city street. Happy holidays, all!

Moving studio and house to Richmond, Virginia next month! I am delighted to be making this change just now, returning to city life again, and still working as a weaver, textile designer, and teacher. I will be closing the online store down Nov. 1, 2021. When I am settled I will bring my shop back…

In addition to the bits of warp yarns left on the loom after weaving, I often pull short lengths of yarn off my bobbins to free them up for re-use. Here you see them knotted together ready to be wound onto bobbins for weft on another weaving.

Weaving with knotted leftover yarns brings delight and chaos and decisions! Sometimes I let pull the knots through the warp and show them off; other times I left them ride into the warp and clump and make bumps. After the piece is washed it all changes again.

6 For The Table is a set of napkins/placemats woven in canvas weave. The leftover warp yarns just off the loom are being knotted together and wound on a wooden rod into a center pull ball for use as weft in a new project.

After I finished the 5 Kitchen Towels, I collected the bits of warp that remained and, tying the short threads together with knots, made a new ball of cotton yarn for weaving. Zanshi is a Japanese weaving practice using knotted bits of yarn for the weft in weaving.

A place at your table! A set of four natural linen placemats handwoven in canvas weave. Texture, strength, beauty. Mats are hemmed and 16 inches x 25 inches. Machine wash on cold, hang to dry. $150 for the set.
