A couple of weeks ago I headed up to Northern Florida to take a SAORI weaving class. I have seen so many beautiful weaving projects come from these workshops that when I saw one offered in the same state, I jumped on it. Needless to say, it was time well spent. I had the opportunity to spend two FULL days weaving to my hearts content. Instead of taking my rigid heddle loom, I decided to rent a SAORI loom for the workshop.
What a fabulous loom it is! I learned so many cool techniques from our instructors and saw such creativity from the other workshop participants that I came home energized, with new ideas filling my head. After MUCH discussion with my better half, I decided to order a SAORI loom of my own!
Today the tracking info made it into my inbox, and I am tickled pink that it will soon be here. Here are a few pictures of my finished wall hanging. It's a sampler of many different techniques and of different types of materials.
Yes, I think I did get a bit carried away.....I'm going to need to find a very tall wall for this!

I love your fabric! Saori Weaving is super addictive and liberating. Of course, now you need to start thinking about sewing ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Kelly! You certainly do need a tall wall :)

Run it around the room at picture rail level!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. The loom is here and all set up with a 6 meter warp. I have been dyeing and digging through my handspun stash and various fibers to find the perfect weaving materials. Stay tuned....
