Wraps: Cocoons & Shruggies, Quexquemetl Ponchos, QQ Ruanas & Capes...

What are all these varied styles?
~ From various cultures throughout history, they offer easy coverups,
usually made from simple, rectangular looms.
~ These pics are samples only. See those available below. ~

sleeved Cocoon ~ shorter Shruggie Cocoon ~ diamond Quetzquemetl ~ square Cape ~ open Ruana

The Quetzquemetl is an old-style poncho, made of two pieces that attach end to selvedge and hang in a diamond shape with a vee neck and fringed seam --more graceful than the traditional square poncho. The back view also has a fringed seam. In the "QQ" above, each panel is actually a patchwork of 2-3 smaller panels.

Ruanas are an open cape, like wearing a shawl over each shoulder, seamed up the back and sides.

Quexquemetl Ruanas
My "QQR's" are a combo of a quexquemetl and an open ruana, with one seam left open. This allows for 2 panels to hang down the front, or to throw or twist one side over the opposite shoulder.All are nubby cottons with leno-lace edging and fringe .

Capes : lightweight cotton, seamed at one shoulder giving a wide boat neckline. This one has rows of leno-lace and added sparkle. This style can be shifted from side to side, spun around back to front, or with fringe pointed down. Versatile and light.

Panels / Image Shawls
Image shawls roleplay in several ways: long rectangles that can be draped on a sofa, hung on a window or wall, or picked up and worn. With custom imagery, this pair is "Floral Shawls".

.

Details: surface texture & imagery is a combination of open-lace weave and pattern changes. Crocheted edges give clarity to the shapes. Woven lace enhances windows & doorways to let the light in, or is a great cover for you. The technique is unique and I've never seen another weaver do it. Not pulled threads, but an open, lace-weave that I shape into flowers, shells, birds or marine images. A unique process I blend with "cartooning": following a drawn image to create the weave.
 .          
  Thinking outside the box, use this rectangular weaving in so many ways - on sofas, filtering light over windows, tables, doorways, or on you. As a home accessory, they texturize and color a room. Hang panels with imagery to fill narrow wall spaces between windows. Or pick it up and wear it. Made with 100% cotton nub & flake yarns, the texture is soft and breatheable. May also include glossy rayon, raw silk or linen, sparkle or beads. May be hemmed for a rod.
