Leigh Ann is back with some more of her amazing beautiful green Saori cloth she wove this time to sew a long Saori vest for her self .
First we deciced on a design . she tryed on several of the many garments and muslins I have in the studio and we decided on a style a she like . Then we layed out her fabric and started cutting it and rearranging it to pin , piece, and sew.

Speaking of yarn…. I just recieved from Saori Japan several sets of there textured 21 cone special LIMITED YARN sets!
cone yarn sets
there are several sets each slightly different from sequins to mini pompoms ribbon and more
three layers
there is quite a lot of yarn tightly wound onto these cones! usually novelty yarns come on spongy balls that look bigger, ar tiny loosly would balls that irritably snarl , BUT you get well behaved yarns unfurling from these cones nicely with out catching when you wind your bobbins! you can see them in my etsy shop

another new weaver !!
meet megan
her first time ever weaving in a " try it " class !!!
"oh that is what a shed is!"
the sun came out durning class and the Wx60 loom folded up easily with wheels and so we were outside set up in no time!. ..
The plum blossoms were snowing petals smelling fragment in the warm spring sun….
what an amazing first weaving! she picked out a branch from the ones i gathered from our property to tie her new weaving to and she then learned how to twist the fringes to finish it
Weaving out side on saori looms is my most favorite fiber passion!!!
Saori looms are portable and sooo fun.
Megan you first weaving is incredible!
