MAINE VILLAGE WEAVER

Weaving is a solitary experience for me. Radio on while I beat each thread into place with just the right amount of pressure. I sit by a sunny window with my back to the world outside not because of being distracted by it but because I enjoy the sunny warmth. The project these past two weeks has been weaving yarn given to me by Julie of Sheep Meadow  on North Haven Island ,Maine ,shepardess of a flock of  Romney sheep. Life on her farm is rhythmic with the seasons . Ewes lambing , chickens laying eggs and plants being started under grow lights .We go to her shop on the island to explore her spun yarns of her sheep. Julie's  shop also carrys Maine artisans as well as a space to show off and sell her work , hand dyed yarns from her dye garden of plants and flowers, Island Village House  is a special place. We selected the yarns to create our first project. Blankets and scarves! Lite chocolate brown with zinna dyed green yarn  and a  single ply white yar...

All kinds of wild material was used to make these yarns I have come up with some very primitive lookwith these new colors and a new weave for scarves

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 mainevillageweaver.com
