I'm excited to share that I'm having a bit of a mini teaching residency this month at Stitch House Dorchester, with THREE fun and productive workshops: Saturday July 20 we'll recycle sweaters into yarn, Sunday July 21 is an all-day intensive rigid heddle towel-weaving project class (for those who have taken the intro class), and Sundays July 28 and August 4 we'll have another session of my popular Intro to Traditional Weaving class! Call the shop or sign up on their website (links to each class in my Facebook Events). I hope to see you then!

I love stories like this! A family in Italy is continuing this incredible ancient textile tradition with such loving care. The transformation of the cloth before and after it’s mangled is breathtaking. (Watch the video to really understand what’s going on.) I need to build one of these...
