Yarn has color, texture, and, when woven into cloth, movement! My passion is to create comfortable, practical clothing for women, men, and children that excites and delights.
I am still being surprised after almost thirty-seven years with new color combinations and new shapes.
Cotton yarns are wound on one of my seven 50” wide looms in a length of 45 yards, 500 threads across. Then, after the loom is threaded, it takes 10 throws of the shuttle for each inch, 360 times per yard. Each piece is designed and woven. Then the yardage is cut off washed, dried, pressed, and cut into the initially imagined piece, sewed, and pressed once again.
