Wraps:
Cocoons & Shruggies, Quexquemetl Ponchos, QQ Ruanas
& Capes... sleeved Cocoon ~ shorter Shruggie Cocoon ~ diamond Quetzquemetl ~ square Cape ~ open Ruana |

Cocoons & Shruggie Cocoons:
Like
a jacket, this style is open in front with lapels and sleeves. Cocoons
may fall to knees, or mid thigh in back, with deeper fronts and longer
sleeves than a shruggie.
|
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
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.

Soft, nuetral, with accents in pattern and color. These pics don't do justice - there is sparkle running throughout the weave, both silver and gold. A go-to cover for casual or dressy. |

Tri-Weaves are finger-picked
on various-sized frame looms, incorporating some of the techniques I
use on the harness loom, such as the open leno-lace. Smaller frames
(4 ft.) give smaller scarves (see scarf pics below)
or larger frames (7 ft.) give Shawls/Throws. Similar to a giant potholder,
this technique allows a mix of shades, beads, ribbons, rovings, bulky
textures and various fibers,including some handspun wool from my sheep.
|
Tri-Scarves: see below. Triangle weaving is a great project for DIY crafters. Since they are done on frames, no traditional loom nor experience is needed. Ask about workshops offered in this fun technique... (Learn
more about Tri-Weave. |
TriWoven Throw, woven on a 7-ft. frame, it ends up as 6x5x5. This one incorporates many fibers, textures, loops and nubs, beads and ribbons. A great coverup for chilly evenings. $186 |

Circle & Flat Scarves:
Some call the circles "infinity" scarves; they seem to go on and on. Blends of natural fibers and textured novelties, these may also include beads, buttons, ribbons, fringes or trims. |
Circles
are approximately 6 ft. long, joined at end points to make a large circle
that can be looped 'round and 'round. Or unlace the end for
a standard, straight scarf. See wearable options below. |
|
- textured novelty yarns or smooth/nubs- $48 or textured novelties- $38 *
Triangles, with multi-textured colors and fringes are not available at
this time.
