I do enjoy weaving even though I seem to produce in spurts. At least I am usually spinning or weaving a few times a week, and work for this to always happen. Thanks for reading! and happy looking! Mitzi
 BEAUTIFUL WARM HANDWOVEN LAP BLANKET:

The warp is wool and wool blend yarns that were hand dyed by me in a pot of Indigo (a natural dye from a plant-the original blue jean color) giving it an overall variegated blue color. The weft is a synthetic fluffy variegated green, blue, gold and purple yarn.
It measures 67" long and 32" wide
Machine washable-gentle cycle, and low heat in the dryer or hang to dry.

 Pink Purse
$45.00
This purse is made mostly from an 82% Mohair 18% wool fiber I purchased from a friend dyed and ready to spin, as I spun the yarn I added more "goat locks" that were dyed hot pink. (mohair is from a goat)
This wonderful fuzzy yarn woven on a cardboard box helped to create a great art piece-purse. It does have some beadwork, but it is hard to see in the picture. The handle is silk, wool/mohair blend yarn, and cotton. The warp used is cotton.
The top of the handle is 20" from the purse, so it is a great shoulder bag.

Measures about 5" tall and 6" across the middle of the top.
