Over several years, a group of Guild members wove a variety of overshot designs. Each member of this group selected a specific overshot design and threaded a loom with enough warp to accommodate all the members in the group. Each person selected a weft color(s) and wove each design with their color selection. They completed this project at the end of 2016 and here are the fruits of their labor! Beautiful!
As to how these pieces will be used, some will make pillows, some coverlets.
Kudos to these talented weavers!
The Handweavers Guild of Lincoln helped celebrate International Women's Day at Ten Thousand Villages on March 10. Throughout the world, it is common for both women and men to support their families by spinning fiber and weaving thread/yarn into garments.
Congratulations to the participants of the first Rigid Heddle class offered by the Handweaver's Guild of Lincoln.
Beautiful scarves made by all!
