Weaving


My main interest in handicrafts is weaving. I have completed more than ten courses in weaving in Adult Education Institute, and 3 courses in my university. I have also my own loom. I have been thinking about making career with weaving in some way. I could sell my projects, teach, sell warps, rent looms etc. Any ideas?

I love to make rag rugs. The texture is harsh and lumpy. The material is stiff and heavy. The weaving is art, when you choose the right coloured material and pattern. Same time it feels good to use old material for the new product.

I love to make linen towels. Those towels dry so quickly and take very little space in your closet. Half cotton half linen yarns are easy for warp. Thats why many of my towels are 75% linen, 25% cotton.
