#handweaving
Closeup of the handwoven ruana I posted the other day, when it was hanging over the living room railing to dry. I made it from a combination of my handspun, hand-dyed wool and store-bought yarn. Of course, now that it's ready to wear, the weather has warmed up!
Making good progress on the bluebird teatowels - 10” done #weaving #handweaving #vævning
I love weaving with the #shuttles my husband made for me #woodworking #handweaving #weaving #vævning
So close! I’m almost done warping this loom for a sample weave. This short muga silk warp has been a bear to thread in this draft but hopefully it’ll be worth it? #handweaver #handweaving #8shaftloom @weaving
The sample of the bluebird teatowel pattern is coming along nicely #weaving #handweaving #handloom #vævning
Undulating twill homework on my Macomber - I procrastinated on this for a *long* time because intimidated by it (too many threads, and the loom itself scares me a bit). But it's on now, and I apparently didn't mess up the threading? Crossing my fingers that the weaving itself will be drama-free.

Here are the latest two projects in their finished state. They were both done in Bambu 7 in shadow weave. The pinkish one was from a pattern in Handwoven Magazine, adapted from Marian Powell’s book. That is the pattern that piqued my interest in shadow weave.
The black themed one I adapted from the book. It does not show the true color of the light thread, which is a light slate blue color.
They feel very luxurious after wet finishing.
Kunjina Tesfaye on Growth and Preserving #Artisanal Techniques.
#Handweaving, #embroidery and #fabric manipulation are design elements that communicate stories about Ethiopia. “If you’ve seen photos of #Ethiopians wearing the traditional white dress, it’s handwoven.”
Interview with Kunjina Tesfaye.
When Kunjina Tesfaye talks about UDET, her eponymous #fashion label Kunjina’s collection, growth radiates. #UDET is a Geez word meaning cycle. Inspired by Ms. Tesfaye’s personal experience, this collection explores fear, productivity guilt, and growth. “It’s like a butterfly’s story or growth from the first stage, from the caterpillar stage into becoming a butterfly. I’ve used that metaphor to explain how a person goes through these stages to flourish and become the person they want. It’s a cycle. It’s not a one-time thing.”
Since her debut as a twentysomething with a degree in construction technology, Ms. Tesfaye’s life and creative approach have evolved. “Every time I make a collection I’ve grown – my designs and the brand and the aesthetics, everything has changed or has grown.” Today, Kunjina has developed into a platform for local #artists. They lobby for growth, preserve traditional #handcrafting methods, and promote #ecofriendly practices.

I’m trying Bambu 7 and shadow weave for the first time. This stuff is slippery. #weaving #handweaving
