MAINE VILLAGE WEAVER

My Burnt Orange Poncho of Hand woven cotton bamboo and locally sourced alpaca yarn is on my website .Limited production so when it is gone ....  These are yummy to the touch and full of eye catching texture. When walking around Venture Ca I on a recent visit I was stopped and commented on my poncho . “Lovely color and texture” were the comments.  Close up of Burnt Orange Poncho  Click link to go to web site  Burnt Orange Poncho and shawl

Time to think about where your yarn comes from . Where does the wool your using to knit,spin,or weave actually come from ? My experience over the many years as a weaver has been to use what’s readily available through yarn stores and yarn suppliers . Now 2019 with trade tariffs kicking in China a huge yarn supplier is closing its doors for a lot of companies. Australia a leader in Merino wool has stopped many yarn companies . My favorite here in Maine is closing its doors after being in business since the 1800’s . Wow !  So what do you think? Will we now start to produce our fiber more locally ? We will have to see. I know as a weaver I am going to be more aware and purchase my yarn more locally. More to come https://www.etsy.com/listing/696263427/french-tick-stripes-towels-lime-green?ref=shop_home_active_2
