the California atmospheric river storms keep coming this is our 12th storm this year! students arrive from other states in spite of the gnarly road conditions for classes here at the studio .
meet Joi, she has taken a few classes from saori studios around the country and she brought a few pieces she wove to show me. Her class was a all day weave a scarf class where I taught her some new tecniques
She has a color preference she prefers black greys red and oranges.
EVEN IN THE RAIN STORM THE STUDIO IS READY
Joi showing me a couple of woven pieces she did at some other studios a few months ago.
I taught her tab fringes right from the start for her scarf
she learned fast
and clasped weft
ta da all done! only twisting fringes and i soaked her scarf in hot water with
video of Joi unfurling her finished scarf
A over 80" Saori scarf that wraped around twice woven in a day that turned out fabulous !
wonderful saori weaving day.

OH MY GODDESS check out Linda's Saori blanket she wove! she needs to sew the last of the 3 sections together and add fringes ! It is a stunner!
the SAORI CH60 LOOM CLICK HERE love her colors and textures !
NO COIL SAFETY PINS CLICK HERE regular safety pins catch with the coil and can ruin you weaving, it has happen to me, i had to get wire cutters to remove the coil regular safety pins. that is why i only use no coil safety pins which are hard to find.
EUCLAN WOOL WASH CLICK HERE the original eucalyptus oil and lanolin !

Meet Trudie . she is an accomplished spinner and weaver BUT her Lendrum wheel was not giving her the bulky singles yarn she needed for her tapestry/rugs . She tried out the lout s10 C. at the studio in a class and she produced the loveliest singles!
she brought her churro fiber to sample in class .
For the
louet s10 c wheel click here it is a reliable sturdy wheel from Holland which has proven it's self for over 70 years it has the capacity for accessories for a bulky flyer and bobbins as well. it comes apart to break down in just a minute for travel.
Trudie sold her old wheel and bought the Louet s10C another Louet convert spinner !

what have i been up too? i spun this skein and left it as my inconsistent single which i love!

printing with stencils some cotton tote bags for my students and buyers of the Saori Kenzo system
to have a bag to put their wound warp bout in to carry to the table for beaming on.
