October 2021

We have had a very busy September holding classes in our open Barn and eating meals on our open screen porch. The change of the season brings brilliant colors to New England, but will also mean many of us will be spending more time inside. This means it will be a wonderful time to hunker down at your looms with some exciting new projects.

Some fall weaving suggestions

Wool shawl in our Mora yarn

This twill pattern appears with many others in our Praktiskt Vävbok, a reprint from a lovely vintage weaving book from 1899. If you would like a Warp-to-Go for this beautiful 8 shaft shawl, we have some color selections for you to choose from, or you could make your own colorway with our Yarn-in-a-Jar designing tool. Here are a few of the 15 Mora shawl colorways that you will find among our ever-growing Warps to Go options.

How about a gorgeous Thanksgiving tablecloth?

This tablecloth is featured in this book of distinctive quilted coverlets from Östergötland in Sweden. You could weave it as a coverlet, or turn it into a tablecloth! There are many beautiful Block damask drafts presented here that you can weave on 8 shafts in two blocks of broken twill or straight twill, or you could weave these in a 10 shaft satin.

Plaid fabric yardage

Weave some beautiful cottolin yardage for fall and winter clothing. We have our first in a series of fabrics to offer you in a range of widths. You can select a warp with 4, 5, or 6 repeats of the plaid across the warp width. Here are a few of our 16 plaid fabric colorways.
