Fair Haven Fibers

Uh. Gives me a headache.

Weavers see possible patterns for cloth in surprising places. Love how the sunlight, shadows and frost are inspiration for an upcoming blanket warp

‘Tis the season for New scarves! 2 of each to choose from. Black and red are Orlon and wool -$120 and $115 (feels silky). Natural ones are wool, rayon and cotton (very cushy). $120 and $115.

Have a blessed International Women.’s Day, no matter what your interest in thread, weaving, spinning, wearing clothes, having bedding, etc. is!

Hand towels! 100% cotton. So much fun to weave... more going on the loom this week.

Anybody doing Christmas shopping? I have lots of beautiful handmade items on the shelves in my craft room! All made by me, right here in La Scie.

Weaving is everywhere. We are all woven into it.

Nature and geometry. The Fibonacci sequence

Today I wound a warp for two small blankets and then looked up the threading for the loom on a tartan generator. Surprise! The pattern I saw in my head has a name! It is Abercrombie of Wilson’s of Bannockburn. The pattern was given to Sir Ralph Abercrombie in the early 1800s. Amazing.

Ah, happy to finish this blooming beauty. Hooked rug. 25x37

Same warp threading! Pattern looks like freezing rain

Some days are like this. Since moving to this beautiful place in Newfoundland I have been inspired to infuse my handwoven creations with the colours and textures that surround us. Noticing on my drives on our road - the birchy woods, in their annual shifting colours I found that the texture and colour of the birch rind in all the seasons called me. So here is my rendition for this time that we get to spend watching the changes occur. This is a shawl, to wrap you in the comfort and ease of the birchy woods in rain. Pics to follow when it is fulled.

Prior to reading the actual post I was looking at this trying to discern what kind of modern weaving it is

‘Thunderstorm’ mohair blend scarves. A couple of weekends ago we had a day of thunderstorms and dark lowering clouds that inspired the warp for these three scarves. Light and warm. Three different weights - the darkest is the heaviest and thickest. $125 each.

Ooo love the colours and stripes!
