It is time that I unlearn how to weave.
It is time to let go of the notions of perfect selvedge and yards and yards of uniform fabric.
That warp that I painstakingly threaded with huck lace is a canvas upon which I can create. What happens if I pull out a few warp threads? Regroup the spacing on a few others? What, indeed?
What happens when I use a thick yarn for the warp? Recycled sari silk!!!
What happens when I soften the transitions from color to color, by creating stripes of varying widths?
What about knots! What indeed?
I haven’t felt this energized about weaving in years!
How wonderful – I look forward to seeing the weaving as it develops and as you explore….
Happy Weaving,
Terri
