I Never Met a Meta(weave) I Didn’t Like
If you are a hand weaver, and you have jumped into the river of winding, beaming, threading, sleying, tying on and tying up in order to swim to the shore of cloth, then I cannot imagine that the notion of […]
Metaweave Towels in Summer & Winter Weave
These 8-shaft Summer & Winter towels are woven in 2 weights of cottolin. They were designed for a tied-weaves study group I belong to. Once again, there is a lot of room to play with color selection and treadling variations. […]
Heavy Meta Towels
Crank it up with these mega meta towels in 2 (or 3) weights of Euroflax linen. The scale of the Meta design is expanded and I have added a twill tie-down for even more fun Bergman style. Treadle to […]

The Grid
Hello Weavers, I am returning to my blog after a long hiatus. It turns out that my subscriber list was lost due to me mistaking an IMPORTANT email for spam and causing “them” (Mailchimp – probably not an evil human, […]
Lovely, Lucious, Linen
Hello Weavers, I decided to write a post about linen after overhearing a group of weavers admiring a set of linen napkins, but agreeing with each other that linen is too scary to work with. Iq want to firmly respond […]
Trust Exercise
Hello Weavers I have just emerged from planning/teaching a couple of classes that have given me a lot of food for thought. As many of you know, in-class time is a very small (but critical:) part of everything that goes […]
Twill Me Now!
Hello Weavers I hope your holiday season is shaping up to be relaxing and filled with good will and kindness. I am happily anticipating the arrival of kiddos with their partners and pets, and am trying to check off […]
Twill or Be Twilled
Hi weavers – I am working on a new pattern for a series of swellegant pillow covers in twill, and serendipitously, while working on the “twillow” pattern, I have been reviewing Becky Ashenden’s video series in which she recreates her […]
