A squiggly line of a weaving kit. Along the length there are several knots. At one point half the threads are attached to much thinner threads which are in turn tied to a wooden rod. There is a several inch section that is already woven showing a black, white, green, and red pattern. The woven end is finished in a big chunky braid meant to be replaced later with smaller ones once the weaving has progressed. pattern is inspired by the Palestinian flag and the traditional Palestinian scarf kufiya (all sales in this pattern aid Palestine). It is laid out on a white linen backround.

I make kits to learn to weave a traditional Irish crios (belt) using the old loomless method! A crios was worn as part of the folkwear of the Aran Islands! It's comes as shown all ready to weave with about 2" prewoven to get you started!

Radial pattern of layed out hand woven belts. The first to the left is in shades of grey representing the sword wielding lesbian Liath Luachra. The next belt is of the same pattern but in green, yellow, blue, red, and white representing Liath's girlfriend Bodhmall the druidess. Next is a red, white, blue and orange pattern representing Ferdia who had some very gay things to say about Cú Chulainn. The next is a rainbow pattern with a central brown and gray spear like motif representing the Gae Bulg the mythical spear wielded by Cú Chulainn. Then is a blue, green,white, yellow, brown pattern representing Brigid who was asexual and saphic in the way she rejected men, and sexuality while living her life sharing a bed and a very close connection to a fellow nun. Last is Bé Mannair a gender fluid shapeshifter who used her trasphomations to outwit their enemies. Additionally can be seen small square patches of the brigid, gae bulg, and Bodhmall designs. There is also a thin transflag weaving of the perfect size to be a bookmark. It is all laid out on a white linen backround.

Queer Irish mythology inspired traditional Irish belts (criosanna) made by my own little Asexual Aromantic Agender hands!

We have liath Luachra, Bodhmall, Ferdia, the Gae Bulg, Brigid, and Bé Mannair!

These are all I'm my shop!
