5 out of 5 starsSofter than I expected! I emailed before I bought them as I didn’t want napkins that need ironing to look good. These are Amazing!!!! Fabric feels great when you wipe your face. It only needs a smoothing out with your hands out of the dryer. And the texture is gorgeous!!

5 out of 5 starsSo beautiful and soft! We use it as a hand towel in the kitchen. It has a great weight so it doesn’t get soggy after a few uses. I look forward to drying my hands with it, if that makes sense. It is that nice and useful!

5 out of 5 starsThis is such a beautiful, and soft, napkin. It is generously sized and has a nice weight, so I have been using it as my outdoors workout towel. Love it!

5 out of 5 starsSo pretty, useful, and functional that my mother, who didn’t understand my purchase at the time that I made it, saw it, touched it, and immediately had to order one for a dear friend. I look forward to using mine for years, and hope her friend feels the same.

Deflected doubleweave scarf on the loom - this structure is painstaking to set up and weave, but I love the end result!
Creating Beautiful, Timeless Cloth, One Shuttle Toss at a Time
I've been weaving for nearly 20 years (time flies!) - I purchased my first loom from Harrisville Designs in New Hampshire as a kit, built it over a rare weekend off from my former job as an attorney, wove some really horrible dish towels as my first project, and haven't looked back since.
I now weave on my original little loom and have collected a couple more along the way, as weavers are wont to do. (For those who are curious, I also have a second-hand 12-shaft LeClerc Colonial that weaves like a dream, and a second-hand 16-shaft Macomber with double back beams. And an 8-shaft LeClerc Voyager table loom for workshops. And an inkle loom. And three tapestry looms from Mirrix. See what I mean? They tend to multiply.)
My work has improved considerably since I made those first dish towels. And since starting to sell my work in 2006, I've sold hundreds of items through local juried craft shows, galleries around New England, the Fruitlands Museum Shop, the deCordova Museum Shop, Open Studios at my studio building, and, thanks to Etsy, have shipped my work across the USA and the globe. I'm also active in my local weaving guilds, teach workshops related to weaving at various guilds around New England, and am a member of the Handweavers' Guild of America and Complex Weavers. And my work has been published in Handwoven Magazine.
About eight years ago we moved to Harvard, Massachusetts, and into the midst of the second-oldest Shaker settlement in the United States. The Shaker houses are private homes now, but the scenery and architecture that I am surrounded by still take my breath away on a daily basis. I try to use that beauty to inspire my work - clean lines, interesting color combinations, and timeless design are the hallmarks of my weaving.
