A family saori weaving adventure.

several months ago I received a email about a WEAVER who wanted to visit Saori santa cruz. She wanted to bring some family members too.
 she was visiting here in California and wanted To introduce her family  to weaving by way of  the Saori  philosophy . What a warm fun experience and fantastic results with new weavers and knowledgable weavers alike.









As the sun moves behind the mountains every one finished up and removed there weavings from there looms.




The   time came for the 6 yards to come off the saori  loom ready for sewing, but wait, no eletricity! oh no!. we  went ahead and sewed by hand .The  pinned sleevless jacket went back to her room for the midnight oil  hand sewing matharon! ( see the next blog post for finished photos of the hand woven jacket)





 5 1/2 yards was perfect. out on the deck where we still had some light to pin and piece.

absolutely wondeful weaving yardage







the light is fading in late afternoon at the studio


  but outside we see the warm yarn colors  that were chosen and how textural and fun!




HAPPY , VERY HAPPY WEAVERS!

PEACE IN WEAVING

  1. I'm quite intrigued by that garment that has the armholes, do you have a picture of it draped on a person? it looks great already though!
