Announcement It’s been over 30 years since my first weaving class. What started as hobby quickly turned into a part time business. The initial focus was clothing woven using hand dyed yarn. A line of tea towels with unique borders was added. Soon customers asked: Can you weave bees? alpacas? wine glasses? You will find these and more in the shop. Patterns, hand dyed yarn, and weaving kits are also available. Most of the fibers used are plant based, such as, cotton, bamboo/rayon, Tencel, seacell. I also love teaching and sharing what I do at www.youtube.com/c/MargeryErickson

Outside the studio and home.
Maggie wants to play and I would like to weave.
View inside the studio
A fabric pile up.
Hand dyed warp, waiting for an empty loom.

Balancing the left and right brain

In 7th grade, our sewing teacher uncovered my talent for sewing a straight line. Eventually this line of thread wound itself around most of the clothing I made and wore. In my thirties I discovered weaving provided a new twist. I could actually make the fabric. Over thirty years later I continue to create fabric by dying the yarns and weaving these yarns into shawls, scarves, jackets and accessories.

Part of my brain enjoys calculating the yardage and warping the loom. The other part enjoys the freedom of blending new colors and creating wearable art. I recently added sustainable fibers and recycled yarn for weaving kits and in some of my products.
