𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 Luxury Handwoven Blankets 🌏Stories from life & global adventures 🧩Woven into unique collector pieces Explore ⬇️
  • Let’s inspire each other! We can now comment using pics, so take a snap of what’s on your loom, and share with everyone! Let’s support each other. 

I loooove being alone in my studio not talking to anyone - but it’s also nice to be able to see what everyone else is weaving and making.

My show and tell is here, live to see yours!
  • What’s on your loom? Take a snap and share with everyone! Let’s start a chat to support and inspire each other! 

I’ve shared what’s on my loom. Your turn!
  • A sassy older weaver who loves weaving! Have a look around and come follow along. I may even make you laugh!
  • Options?? Hmmmmm Beating the weft on my rigid heddle loom - is an option! 

Your thoughts?? :) 

I’m a sassy older weaver who loves weaving. Have a look around my space here and come follow along. I may even make you laugh!
  • Yes.. slooooow! I’m weaving with my rigid heddle loom, where I stand and walk rather than sitting to weave. 

My blankets are based on my experiences, many of my series are based on travelling the world in our 100 year old vintage car. What do you base your weaving pieces on? 

Found my weaving interesting, let your weaving bestie know. I share tips and ideas which may help your weaving, so come follow along.
  • Do you skip this step? Some new weavers don’t realise until after they’ve cut their weaving off their loom that the ends start to come adrift! 

I see it sooo often. 

Here I’m making sure I don’t catch the woven header, but making sure I secure the warp threads into small clumps, by Hemstitching. 

I’m doing a tutorial which I’m aiming to post in the near future. 

Your weaving bestie may also be grateful for this reminder. For more tips and ideas, come follow along.
  • Wish more new weavers would try this. Just two is all that’s needed! 

This is a very simple tip to use just 2 cardboard strips as a header. I see some weavers use as many cardboard strips as sticks of spaghetti in a packet (yes, that may be an exaggeration lol) , but as you can see, two is perfectly adequate; followed by a small section of woven header in a contrasting colour. 

Follow along to see the next step where I show the most important Hemstitching!

  • Woohoo! You’ve found my space here where you can see some of my experience and grab some tips and ideas and use for your next projects. 

I use a very simple rigid heddle loom, and combine that with a lifetime of experience as an artist, creative and weaver.

This is a very simple tip to use just 2 cardboard strips as a header. I see some weavers use heaps more, but as you can see, two is perfectly adequate; followed by a small section of woven header in a contrasting colour than my woven piece. You’ll see why, in a later reel.
