Last week I spent time weaving twills with some wonderful students. Every class has its own unique mix of student perspectives and experiences, and this group was absolutely delightful.

Time for some spring colors to make an appearance. Actually, bamboo is an all-weather fiber, and this pale green and blue paired with the white would transition well from icy winter outings to sunny lakeside picnics.

Occasionally, customers will ask me if I would make a smaller, more affordable item for them. They love the look and feel of handwoven textiles, but they were hoping to spend just a little bit less for the special gift they had in mind.

One of the best things about weaving is that the possibilities are virtually unlimited, and it would take many lifetimes to explore them all.

The hallmark of a twill weave is the diagonal lines that form as a contrasting weft crosses the warp. The classic example is good old denim jeans.
