Bright multicolor yarn on a black background
On the straw bobbins is a hank of Noro Blossom, full hank at the top. Look at that color change! After the second time I worked with yarn with a color change, I pay attention and weave (or nålbind) in the order the yarn is made. Scarf coming! #saoriweaving #weaving
Plum, teal, yellow and other yarns, shown closeup at beginning of warp. The thicker teal yarn makes a solid stripe in the hemstitching.
I like the effect of hemstitching with fat yarn. I’ll have to remember that. #weaving #saoriweaving
Dark blue, light blue, grey and white plaid handwoven cotton towel; and a handwoven scarf of soft pink, light yellow, cream and grey. On top is a paper tag with “Dulcey Heller” and a hole punch.
My last thing to do before the St Louis Park (MN) Art Show tomorrow - tagging the wovens! This pink scarf is so soft and light. It’s mostly merino, cotton, & angora. I’m really pleased with the hand towels. They are made with an organic cotton, and feel great too. #weaving #saoriweaving #handmademn
Closeup of two woven scarves, with one primarily plum with horizontal stripes of teal and lighter pink, and occasional brighter colors. The other is vertical stripes of dark blue, purple, light grey, and a little pink
New warm winter scarves, ready for the St. Louis Park Art Fair on Saturday! The blue and purple is all wool and mohair, soft and thick. The plum is wool and more, extravagantly long. #weaving #saoriweaving #handmademn
Recently completed box knot bag, love the color combination in this one, mix of textures too.
Once again it's a great pattern from Motif Studio Patterns. This is a go to for small to medium fiber projects.

A piece of woven fabric on a loom. The warp threads are all off-white and the weft is a variety of variegated rainbow yarns with some white yarn mixed in

Out of some yarn and some time
I think I like it

Soft pink, yellow, white, and grey handwoven on a SAORI loom, with weaving shuttles of soft yarns.
Lovely delicate colors in my current weave. One of these two yarns is primarily angora, the other merino. Other fibers join the fun too. 🙂 I am making this for the St. Louis Park, MN Art Fair on Sat, September 6. Beads will be joining the fun too, of course! #handmademn #handwoven #saoriweaving
Stripes of blue, grey, and white yarn reflected in the metal reed of a loom
This was kind of neat; after (finally) getting the loom fully warped, I did a few rows to get started. Then I turned off the light, and looking back in the evening sun coming through the window, saw a reflection of the warp in the metal reed. #saoriweaving
The panels represent a little bit of my and my kid’s loves at home - Matchbox books Alchemist, Phantom Tollbooth and Pachinko. Miniature pics of Mt. Rainier and St. Helens. Washington state map in bronze miniature, motorcycle, suitcase, compass and an alarm. What more do you need, eh?
Finished these a while ago, but waiting for right hangers 😛.
Design for the weave comes from traditional sarees. All three panels represent nature and childhood (Ghibli inspiration) and living and loving life in WA. Magnetic hangers (love ‘em) - bought in Etsy.

Scarf made of Japanese cotton, wool, little bit of lace in between.
~85” in length. Took roughly ~4.5 hours to weave this (not counting putting in the warp).
Finished the scarf. Blend of different yarns, all in shades of green. #SaoriWeaving #Weaving
Cobalt blue, baby blue, light grey, and cream yarn on a warping board in preparation for weaving.
I started prepping a warp today. This is Gist organic cotton, which I haven’t used before. It feels fantastic! I hope to start dressing the loom tomorrow. #saoriweaving
Rewarping my Saori loom, worked on the mobile version of my website, working on more yarn for the update and still crocheting my granny squares for my cardi! 48/92 squares AND weaving in ends as I go! 💪🏻 The best things are never rushed 💕

Forgot to share recently completed box know bag! This is a small one perfect for a single skein project, such as socks.
I wove this fabric this time last year, so glad to take the time to use it.

A top down view of a small wooden rigid heddle loom. A navy blue scarf is on the loom. The lower section has an X themed mud cloth inspired overshot motif made with two sets of nested truangular points with openings facing up and diwn. Diamond circles on either side of where the points meet in the middle. Above is a plain weave color spectrum of smooth and textured boucle and sequined yarns roughly going from lilac to red. Several of the yarns include lilac, plum, lavender, fuchsia and scarlet to varying degrees.
A Saori lilac-plum-magenta-red spectrum using highly variable hand dyed yarns. Bouclé and sequins add extra interest. #FiberArt #TextileArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving #overshot 🧶 #RigidHeddleWeaving #QueerArtist #NonbinaryArtist #Art #OvershotWeaving #WeavingPatterns #SaoriWeaving

Knit cowl in geometric pattern of black and white stripes, with accents of turquoise blue, red, and gold, with matching gold hat made with nålbinding.
I’ve recently purchased a hand knit Icelandic sweater made by Rose in Húsavík, Iceland, and a knit cowl from Makwa Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota-and I wove a scarf and used nålbinding (Oslo) to make hats to complement them. I learn more with each project! #saoriweaving #nålbinding #nalbinding
On the right is my little 10 inch rigid heddle loom with a turquoise three diamond twill overshot pattern and a violet to pink spectrum above it. On the left is a sage green metal cart with three shelf bins. On the top one is a long row of four inch bobbins filled with a full spectrum of colored yarn from blue to green, yellow, orange, red, purple. The middle bin has yarn balls. The third bin has woiden boat and rag shuttles.
My weaving set up. The rolling cart holds filled shuttle bobbins, yarn for refilling bobbins, boat and stick shuttles, and other tools like my pick up stick, scissors, and needle for weaving in ends.

A little wooden loom on its stand. A scarf with complex geometric patterns is draped over it.
I can do more with freeform overshot on my ten inch Cricket rigid heddle loom than a weaver with a 32-shaft dobby loom. Anyone can! Check out my Etsy shop. #handwoven #fiberArt #SaoriWeaving #WeavingLoom
