Sunday brought a spur-of-the-moment afternoon of weaving for me in a nearby park. I had the perfect shady spot with a picnic table to create my warp, and a broken branch perfect for tensioning my backstrap loom for weaving. And I just love that my weaving basket fit perfectly in my bike basket 🥰

The yarn is handspun muga silk, 2ply, that I made back in the spring with the intent to weave with it.

I'm back in Spin Off with an article about turning milkweed stalks into yarn. (Scroll back through my reels for a process video on that 😁)

You can get copies of the magazine at shop.longthreadmedia.com and/or support your local library by accessing Spin Off through their digital media services! (And if they don't subscribe to Spin Off, you can also try to request it!)

Enjoy!
