Another view of the two-panel Alpaca Nomad Shawl

​

Handwoven by me in my home/studio in the land of enchantment, NM. It was
woven in two panels with a 100% ultra fine merino wool warp dyed with black
walnuts and pecans and a weft of super-fine alpaca. Throughout this piece
are tapestry woven rays and undulating forms reminiscent of the stark
cliffs of the Southwest. The small red-orange tapestry woven detail was
woven with an amazing baby Alpaca/silk blend.

An incredibly cozy Cashmere cowl. Woven with a warp of 100% ultra fine
merino wool dyed with Black Walnuts and Pecans and a weft of 100% Afghani
Cashmere. The Cashmere was raised and spun by a women’s cooperative in
Afghanistan. It is some of the most amazing fiber I have ever worked with!

A random drawing for Burgundy & Chocolate handwoven Art Yardage is now
under way, ending on Sunday November 22nd. Rich colors and sumptuous
textures dominate this piece. It was woven in undulating color shifts of
wheat, cream, chocolate and burgundy with a warp of organic cotton-linen
and a weft of hand dyed raw silk. At the center and both ends are extensive
tapestry woven rays on a bed of pattern woven waves. For more information

Just started a new piece of yardage inspired by the colors surrounding my studio. The colors of harvest and transitioning seasons. The photo of brilliant yellow leaves is of one of our peach trees, just outside my studio door. I got some requests for a 3.6m piece, so that is what it will be.

If anyone is interested, I will be able to create one or two custom cowls
or scarves on my current Merino warp. The warp is super soft Merino wool
dyed with black walnuts and pecans. Please message me if you are
interested. This piece has a weft of hand-spun local Angora and hand-spun
Yak-silk.
