I was a seamstress and costumer for decades but fibre arts was never something I got into. Now, most of my handmade crafts involve jewelry, clay, woodworking, painting, pyrography, ink making, incense and herbs, etc.
My daughter is the spinning and weaving person in the family and she teaches classes in the artisan shop she owns. Today I took one of her classes on weaving. This is my very first try. This photo is before it is washed, trimmed, blocked and the fringe tied. It took me 6 and a 1/2 hours from warping the loom to cutting it off. The yarn is acrylic because I didn't want to use expensive wool to learn. The next thing I will make is a thicker shawl and if I can find some alpaca wool, that would be my first choice. I will need to borrow one of her larger looms.
