Bamboo and mericerized cotton handwoven shawl

Off the loom recently, this handwoven shawl in mercerized cotton and bamboo. The circles are green on one side, black on the other creating a fascinating visual effect. The bamboo is very soft and produces a nice hand to the textile. I've been exploring this weave structure for the last several months and I am looking forward to more experimentation with it.

Compliments of
Line Dufour/tapestry line unlimited Booth W-07

This year promises to be a very exciting year at the One of a Kind Show in terms of the wide array of locally hand crafted scarves, shawls and capes as well as handwoven tapestries. As managing designer and artist, Line has formed the tapestry line collective which will continue the practice of tapestry line unlimited to create an eclectic mix of fashion accessories. Line returned recently from New Mexico where she attended a weaving conference and her work and teaching has been greatly inspired by it. A weaving studio will be set up in the middle of the One of a Kind show for you to get a bird's eyeview of what it is like to be a weaver. There will be scheduled demonstrations by myself and my students on a tapestry loom and a fabric weaving loom. This year one of Line's tapestries, Joy, was selected by the American Tapestry Alliance to be part of two group shows: The Elder Gallery at the Nebraska Weslayan University in conjunction with the Textile Society of America conference and will continue on to the American Textile History Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts from January 22 to May 1 2011.

Weaving with a broken arm!

Every weaver's and knitters worst nightmare...a broken arm. Did it while jogging early one morning last week. However I am constantly surprising myself at how much I can do. I was still able to set uo my fabric weaving loom, AND weave! Ok, granted it's much slower bit it sure is better than not at all! Can't knit though! They say it will be weeks.
