Collage of three photos of me wearing a handwoven pink and magenta scoop neck top and capri pants, cotton with textured vertical stripes. The top has no sleeves but is wide enough that it gives the appearance of short sleeves. It has an inset front panel that is darker than the rest of the fabric, two square steps down each side, a square at the bottom front. Turquoise embroidered around the scoop neck. In the first photo (left), me, a brunette mixed Balkan person with a buzz cut, is standing under a large rainbow flag on a pole. In the second photo I’m wearing a black sun hat and lavender mask, an aqua fountain with palm trees behind me. In the third photo I’m standing on a long wooden pier with my back to the teal ocean. Gray skies.

#4shaft #weaving

A colorful handwoven jacket on an elderly mixed Balkan woman with short wavy gray hair, olive skin and glasses. She’s smiling. The rainbow fabric is a mix of twills and warp/weft color combos like royal purple, plum purple, jade green, gold and rust. The color overlaps create blues, brick red and more. Simple jewel neckline and straight front opening worn closed. Flared long sleeves. Pockets. She’s wearing black leggings. Behind her is a subtropical garden with flowers and a palm tree in a large beige plastered planter against a wall.

A Saori style jacket my mother sewed from #4Shaft cotton twill fabric she wove. Her loom is 40+ years old.

Playing with variations of a Wandering Vine overshot pattern. I made a couple mistakes in threading the warp, so I decided to also play with the treadling pattern. #weaving #4shaft

So happy with how this overshot strap turned out! Time to start planning my next weaving project. #weaving #4shaft

Me snuggling my handwoven twill blanket.

I have finally finished my handwoven twill blanket that I started last year. The widest piece I’ve woven yet! I filled it and brushed it by hand and it is thick, soft a luscious! #weaving #handwoven #twill #4shaft #purewool

Having fun getting to know my new loom. #loom #weaving #4shaft

A colorful subtly striped pink, lavender and aqua fabric top made of two panels with a V opening for the neckline. The fabric is covered in small feline twill motifs. Three rainbow ribbons of different lengths outline both sides of the neckline and front of the top. The top is hanging on a hangar on a hook on a light painted wooden door. The light is coming from above through an unseen skylight.

A #colorful Mayan #huipil style top I made from my #feline #twill fabric. I #wove a narrow #inkle band from a space #dyed shiny rayon rainbow yarn and created festive ribbons around the neckline #Caturday #weaver #4Shaft #weaving #WearableArt #Art #CreativeMind

A complex twill fabric that looks like nested cat/feline heads with pointy ears, eye dots and open mouths. Simple but effective in portraying an overall feline pattern. Dark lilac weft creating the feline heads on a painted warp background in hues of pale lilac, lavender and aqua. Visit Lisa Rayner Handwovens on Etsy in rainbow colored text.

A scarf of cream wool with black borders woven in overshot. The edges have been hemstitched with twisted fringe.

The scarf that was being woven yesterday. I designed it for newer weavers to get a taste of weaving overshot without getting overwhelmed by the slower nature of two-shuttle weaving. Could have used a pressing before taking pictures.

This is a feed of multi-shaft weaving! It should pick up posts with #4shaft, #8shaft, and #16shaft.

A symmetrical plaid on the loom with a weaving shuttle. The plaid is camouflage inspired, with light brown, dark brown, green and grey colors.

Adding some of my weaving projects here. These were 4-shaft floor loom projects. #weaving #4shaft

The end of a gorgeous towel on the loom and the beginning of a misguided adventure into clasped weft in red, peach, cream, sage, and green cotton.

Trying out clasped weft on my sample space at the end of my towel warp. I am not convinced. 🫠🫠🫠

A towel on the loom in red, peach, cream, sage, and green. The pattern is ridiculously adorable horizontal stripes of twill alternating between warp-faced and weft-faced. You can see 10 treadles tied up beneath.

Woohoo! This is my most complicated design yet! 10 treadles! I loves it 💗😆
