MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
Materials for all my weavings are 100% wool on a continuous warp, with binding strings using the chain plying technique. The single ply wool yarns are all hand dyed by myself, using natural vegetal plants and roots. I mainly use the basic weave technique for most of my weavings, using the two heddle rods. I also weave using the Diamond Twill count techniques to make the variant designs for my twill weavings, using four heddle rods to manipulate the warps.
