My friend Lyn has just started her first Saori weaving with great ideas and gusto. This is an example or her first project which uses cotton and wool – with some silk/stainless steel thrown in. I can’t wait to see it off the loom and washed. It’s a cloth full of anticipatory surprise, like many Saori inspired textiles. It will shrink up in unexpected ways creating a unique and time infused (fancy words for ‘taking much longer than a machine’) textile.
Today I’m going to attack my Toika loom, to complete winding the sectional warp with my AVL warping wheel using many segments that were handpainted. More later…
