Woven Shibori on a Rigid Heddle Loom

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

It’s the end of the work day on a Friday and I’ve been busy winding, packaging and labelling yarn. It’s a never-ending task. I’m kind of beat, but just saw this in my mailbox and got pretty excited… It’s woven shibori on a humble rigid heddle loom. Fantastic, extensive post with complete details and step-by-step instructions. I love love love simple plain weave on a rigid heddle loom but am getting more and more interested in seeing what else is possible with this simple tool.
