Magic on the loom in Catharine Ellis’s weekend workshop. I wove all in white, with woven shibori pull-strings in monksbelt and then a plain weave ⭕️. Strings are pulled, it goes in the indigo vat, and then the strings are removed. #weaversguildmn #weaving #shiboriworkshop #shibori

I took a wonderful workshop from Catharine Ellis this weekend, and she stayed with us, too. This is one of her woven shibori scarf blanks. I pulled the thread and put it in the dye pot. Easy magic for me! More on my samples soon. #weaversguildmn #shibori #catharineellis

Minneapolis #tapestry alert! four large tapestries by Norwegian artist #jangroth are up in the courtyard of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. More photos and info at Robbielafleur.com.

A treasure purchased while volunteering for set-up at the #textilecentergaragesale. STUPID SNOWSTORM has delayed the actual sale to next Saturday, April 23. YOU SHOULD GO. I also bought three bags of small skeins of natural-dyed wool samples. I see a small floral #tapestry with flowers inspired by old Scandinavian tapestries.

Swedish friends! Here are three tapestries my friend Carol Johnson bought on eBay, perhaps all from the same weaver. She has no information on them. Does anyone recognize the artist or the designs? I love the one with the musicians. #tapestry #scandinaviandesign #swedishweaving #flamskvävnad

If you are near Minneapolis, see a wonderful exhibit of Scandinavian weaving at the Weavers Guild. More info on Scandinavianweaversmn.com. #scandinavianweaving #swedishweaving #weavingmn #weaversguildmn
