The next section of yardage is cut off the loom into sections, to be cowls, scarves and yardage. Now it’s time to stitch and tie.

Apple blossoms…Welcome to the first days of spring (or fall)! Here in New Mexico the flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing and the sun is shining. Happy Equinox!

Fiesta skirt! A combination of handwoven organic cotton-linen, an amazing vintage printed crepe with a lining of raw silk. Here it is – https://www.etsy.com/listing/227122185/fiesta-hand-woven-crazy-pattern-raw-silk

Finishing up, then cutting another section off the loom. YAY!

Number three of six skirts I will be posting is now available. This one is the first of a new style I have been playing with, hand dyed raw silk and a handwoven panel from the Moonbow warp. https://www.etsy.com/listing/226803596/midnight-dance-handwoven-raw-silk-below?ref=shop_home_active_1

Just posted another wrap skirt to my etsy shop. It is the first time I used a piece of a yardage warp for a skirt waistband. The waistband is cotton + organic cotton-linen, the body of the skirt is a supper fluttery Chinese silk.
