Small town/wool industry problem: seeing someone with a livestock trailer waving excitedly at me from across the intersection and trying to figure out which of my friends is in town collecting sheep lol. I love my wool community so stinking much! #woolindustry #californiawool #smalltown
There is something to be said for feeling safe enough to live with both earbuds in. #mustbenice #cantrelate
Suddenly, I love tapestry more than ever. #tapestry #weaving #yarn #pacifictextilearts 🧶
Sometimes your office is beautiful and your emails are sent from the ocean. #textiles #officejob #thehorizonismylover #pacificocean
I went to my #weaving study group yesterday and we talked about the difference between #lace weaves and other weaving techniques. Then I went to my best friend’s place and tried to talk about the same thing. Get #textile friends. #pacifictextilearts #wssg 🧶 #fiberarts #textileart
I’m about to take a tapestry class! The #pacifictextilearts has such amazing classes and galleries all year long, and sooooo happy to be back in the classroom! #textiles #textilearts #tapestry #weaving #wool #yarn #makeart #woolwillsavetheworld 🧶

Hi everyone! I made a new patreon post today! It’s mostly a recap of some things I’ve posted here, but all in one place. Plus, everything I make from patreon goes into my “buy a fancy loom” fund!

Out with the old! I’m replacing these uneven treadle tie ups with shiny new pegs and texolv cords. I’m very excited to weave with a clean shed! #loommaintenance #weaving #textiles #woolwillsavetheworld #loom #floorloom
Settled on a honeycomb pattern in natural brown cotton with white cotton and acid dyed cotton accents. Maybe it’ll be a dish towel? It’s amazing what you get when only change one element of the set up. #weaving #textileart #pacifictextilearts
Learning to understand weaving drafts… threading, tie up, lift sequence… all things I really never thought about because Simple Twill is simple twill, but omg there are so many things at play!!! #weaving #textilearts 🧶
Got to sort wool with an amazing friend today. A mix of Gotland, Icelandic, Finn, Gotland/Finn crosses… so much gorgeous wool. Everyone should know a shepherd. #woolwillsavetheworld #yarn #sheep #knitting #wool #sheep 🧶
Have fun with your weaving! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!!!
Ooooh! I have an ashford spinning wheel, I love it! Thank you for that info, I hate aunt Lydia in the handmaids tale, so it’s nice to know the yarn might be named after a something else lol
I love that darker, more textured one!! What is the fiber content? It looks amazing.
Hey other weavers, have you heard the term “aunt Lydia” referring to the heavy yarn put at the beginning of the warp to get even spacing after tying on? I’ll post a pic of it later if needed. #weavers #weaving #textile #yarn #loom #warp #weft 🧶
This is so cool!! I have so many swatches and ends in my stash. I love using them for projects like this.
Long ago I taught myself how to knit backwards because I hated turning my knitting over when doing sock heels. I haven’t made any socks in a very long time, but it came in handy this week when I tried a new repair technique on my dad’s old ski sweater #Textile #Wool #Knitted #Hand #Art #mending 🧶
My very own Fun With Blending! Taking every fiber in my stash and carding it together for Kitchen Sink yarn. #wool #yarn #textileart 🧶 #makeartnotwar #woolwillsavetheworld
More #handspunyarn. I’m just really leaning into blending everything with everything g to see what happens lol. Stash busting, so to speak. #wool #knitting #textileart
The machine I will miss the most from my mill job is the pin drafter. Pindrafted roving is my very most favorite preparation to hand spin from, but as far as I know, you can’t make it at home. I have all these little bundles I dyed recently that I’d love to pin draft together… #wool #yarn #handspun
Hi dawn!!! This is Kat your neighbor! Glad to see you on here! Happy spinning!
There is someone about hand spinning the really fascinates me. The combination of fibers, the blend of colors… hypnotic #wool #handspunyarn #dropspindle @knitty.com 🧶 #yarn
Older people seem to have no idea of what losing TikTok will do to a lot of people. It’s probably a good thing it’s gone for all those doom scrolling teens, but thousands of businesses and families will be negatively affected.
I’m worried about the size of my EZ surprise jacket. If it’s too big I might just frog it all and start again but sheesh! That’s so much work!
I’m nervous about my Elizabeth Zimmerman surprise jacket sizing. It looks like it’s going to be waaaaay too big, but that’s ok. 🧶
Ughhh I absolutely love romney!! And those colors are gorgeous!
It’s def not a direct comparison but I do think the circus level distraction of both the awards season and hunger games have similarities. Obvs minus the whole child death match thing lol
Literally this goes for all tutorials. I really don’t want to watch a 20 minute video about jump starting a car. Just tell me which color to attach first!
