| What looms do you weave on? | I weave primarily on 3 AVL looms:
|
| What year did you start weaving? | early 80s? |
| How did you get into weaving? | I was a knitter who wanted to learn to spin. And as the only spinners I knew were members of the local weaver’s guild, I started hanging out with a bunch of bad influences who led me into the dark arts of the fiber world! |
| Do you specialize in any particular kind of weaving? if so what? | I am particularly interested in working with breed specific wools and wool blends sourced and processed in the Northeast US. I do a lot of blankets, shawls, scarves and sewing yardage. |
| What is your favorite part of weaving? | For many years, I would have said that throwing the shuttle on the floor loom was the best…that lovely rhythmic whole body movement, like swimming. But now, I like best the threading process. The whole warping process, despite the anxiety of possible errors, is a complex, excitement building, process…like building an elaborate marble or domino run. You set everything up, and then throw the shuttle. Did you make all the right bets? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo6x4eulY9g |
