Handwoven Rayon Chenille Shawl

I recently finished making this beautiful handwoven shawl. I love the rich blues and purples in this shawl, made from hand painted rayon chenille.

Weaving with a Wool-Silk Blend

I made these beautiful scarves from a handpainted wool-silk blend yarn. I purposely used a very loose set, making the scarves nice and light.

Even though I'm very sensitive to wool, I can wrap these scarves around my neck with no trouble at all. Check out my new blogsite for more information, or go to my website to buy one.

Handwoven Table Linens


Thanks to help from my son, I got the Macomber loom set up and operating (albeit with a few issues to resolve) while he was home. I couldn't wait, and as soon as he headed home, I dressed the loom.

My first project on the new-to-me Mac was a set of 4 handwoven napkins and a table runner.

Read more about them and other interesting (?) stuff at my new blogsite.
