Rigid Heddle Weaving

I made these three handwoven bamboo scarves on my little rigid heddle loom while I was working the last show I did. People are always fascinated to watch me weave, even on this simple loom. I'm always happy to share the process with them.

Check out my new blogsite to learn more about these scarves.......and other things about life.

Lots 'O Weaving



I've been weaving scarves and placemats, lately using bamboo, a cashmere-silk blend, and pearl cotton. You can see lots of pictures at my new blogsite. You can also catch up on my garden and my manual labor.

I hope you'll stop by!

Handwoven Bamboo Scarves

Although I've been away from blogging, I've been busily weaving. Here are some of my new creations.

First, here's a set of three handwoven scarves in 100% bamboo. These three scarves share a common warp, set in random stripes of honey, acorn, ecru, and navy. One warp was solid honey advancing twill, one solid acorn woven in a tabby weave (my personal favorite from this batch), and one in solid acorn with an unusual point twill design. Learn more about that design at my new blogsite.


Here's another set of three bamboo handwovens. The warp for these three was a solid ecru, and as you can see, two of them have that same ecru weft, in two different weave patterns. The third has a navy warp to create an interesting weave pattern. See which one I like best at my new blogsite.




Now for a log cabin design, using a black 100% bamboo yarn alternating with a handpainted bamboo-cotton blend. I really love this scarf, and it's gotten me lots of positive comments from those who've seen it in person. Get more of the background at my new blogsite.


I'm going to save my complete favorite for the next post. Check back soon.

Lots of New Handwoven Scarves



Yikes! Somehow I've managed to get a lot of weaving done that didn't make it up here for you to see. Wintergreen bamboo, handpainted variegated moccasin and blue violet bamboo cotton, and variations on those themes. I've made flat scarves and infinity scarves, twill scarves and plain weave scarves, wide scarves and narrow scarves.


Check them all out on my new blogsite, unless you're ready to make a purchase at my website.
