Hello , It has been awhile since I posted . Thought you might like to take a studio tour .Notice the flag in the window and the new design for a rag rug hanging on the back of the rack. Very popular and has been keeping me busy weaving these colors . You can see how I weave sitting at the loom and using cloth strips that I hand cut and weave into the warp on the loom. As I weave I advance the warp . There is usually 10 yards of yarn on the loom. I have woven as much as 30 yards of one style  fabric this year . It takes me a month to weave 30 yards by 60" wide .
