Yesterday a mother and daughter duo came to try out SAORI weaving at my Outdoor Workshop. It was a lovely fall day and wonderful to share SAORI with them. They tried many creative things and each went home with a weaving and memories of their time together on the island. #saoriweaving #outdoorstudio #studiointhewoods #weavingoutdoors #getoutside #autumn #motherdaughter #workshop #saltspringisland #lifeinthetimeofcorona #saorilife #saorisaltspring

Cotton chenille to make some hand towels. Still so much handwashing in these COVID times and nice to have some handmade towels. Colourful warp as I only have a couple of colours of the cotton chenille. #saoriweaving #weaving #handtowels #saorilife #lifeinthetimeofcorona #handmade #handwoven #makers #cottonchenille #studiointhewoods #saltspringisland #shoplocal #saorisaltspring

Another corner of the shop has books, yarn sets, shuttles, pre-wound and one-of-a-kind warps and more.
