New page with yarns and looms.
I created a new page called Resources There I added some tips on yarns and books that I like (I live in Switzerland, so mainly from Europe). I also added some photos and comments of the looms I use. I have made my favorite loom myself and I am not exactly the handy type with…

Automn weave…
I have finished my Sulawesi belt with 16 motif tablets that I wrote about a few weeks ago. I am quite happy with the result. The automn colors go well with the trees outside my window and I like feeling of the wool. I even got a chance to try it on during a medieval…

A new 16 tablet weave on the loom.
I have started a new weave with 16 design tablets (+6 border tablets). It feels really easy going to handle 16 tablets after the 32 on my last weave. I also really enjoy the yarn (Holst Garn, 100% wool), which I haven’t tried before. It has a rustic feeling and is quite strong. Above all,…

A new Sulawesi belt is off the loom.
I have finally finalised the Sulawesi belt in 100% pure silk (24 design tablets) and I am quite happy with the result. It does not show up in the photo, but the red is quite shiny and the belt is really soft. I tried several new motifs/designs on this belt, mostly with flowers or leaves…

Flowers on a string…
If you have checked out my page on how to draw your own designs, you can read and understand the below scheme. I drew this design only last week, and I really like how it turned out. I plan to uploading some more designs next to the result. It really gives a good illustration on…

Silk, silk, silk…
I am planning my next weave. I often add potential colors next to eachother and then I take a photo. Somehow the combination of colors stands out more on a photo. I asked the cat for some advise, but he couldnt care less… Any advise?
