MeridithWeaves

Yarns for weaving come in a wide variety of colors, sizes and kinds. I look for color and texture combinations that give a pleasing surprise. Fascinated by the effects of blending yarn colors, I sometimes use colors and values that are very similar and at other times look for more contrast. I also love blending yarns, adding a boucle or yarn with a slub to a design to add texture. I hope like the varieties of colors and textures in things that I have woven.

A note about my studio. Although I've been weaving since 2004, my weaving career took a big step forward in December 2013 when we completed construction of an addition to our home for my weaving studio. We moved my big loom from a tiny 120 square foot room to a 400 square foot room. I now have plenty of room to design and create beautiful handwovens. I have skylights to let in lots of natural light so I often don't even have to turn on the lights. An added bonus is the views of the foot hills of the mountains surrounding Roanoke in the front and of my gardens in the back.
