Featured this Fall! Wool rug by Village Weaver

Wool Rug  Hit and Miss Burnt Orange and Sable and Beige 
 This is a close up of my wool rug that will be in "Early American Life" magazine this fall
I love this rug .The yarn is so wonderful. It responds so well and takes a lot of  wear . Shake or vacuum this rug , it cleans very easily. I think this would be the perfect rug for a stair as a stair runner.
My favorite color is burnt orange but the color can be substituted  for  any color . A dark brown,black , burgundy, navy or teal , lime green or dark green all will work well  with this backgrond color of beige and sable.www.mainevillageweaver.com

Old time bobbin winder old spool of yarn and old shuttle Another picture of bobbin winder close up of paper bobbin being wound weaving shuttle in background Ok, I have been wanting to share this with you. This is  an old  piece of weaving equipment with an old spool of weaving yarn still in its original wrapper.These were given to me by various people who did not want to throw them away but thought since I weave and their mother or aunt use to weave then I would want to have them. Boy !are they right!I just love my old things.They tell me how hard  they worked and what pride they had in creating the items that they felt their family would enjoy. To use this bobbin winder you have to make paper bobbins to hold the yarn . It is then removed off the shaft and put into the weaving shuttle. What a lot of use this winder must gave seen. The shaft is a little bent but still winds. It is belt driven with a leather belt still in good shape. paper bobbin in shuttle The bobbin win

Recorded weaving projects

 How many weavers record their work ? I have notebooks of past projects with notes so to help me in my future projects . I also repeat my fabric designs and as I get older I don’t always remember the epi or ends per inch . Also the color ways or dye recipes . Here is my notebook closet . I started out  with journals but I grew as I like to keep a piece of the fabric also recorded. Drop me a line or photo of your records! Weaving is a way of life calming, regenerative, meditative, creative, problem solving, what other words help you explain what weaving does for you ?
