The Silken Spider

The Silken Spider This page went from documenting my projects to a registered business! I also really love projects that have color pooling!

I am a weaver and yarn dyer - my favorite projects feature silks and silk blends as well as bright, saturated colors.

Just a little peek at what I’ve been working on!
This is a supima cotton warp, and it feels so wonderfully smooth and strong. ❤️
It is pretty slow going with 3 young kids around all the time, but I’m doing my best.
I had initially planned to do cotton h**p as my warp but I realized it wasn’t nearly as strong and I like a higher tension on my loom so I switched warps.
It was a bit of a pain, but I feel much better about the supima.
The cotton h**p will be really great as a weft though!
I also have other wefts like silk, tencel, cotton tencel, etc. They are great with supima as well!

I think I’m finally ready to get back to it. I may be open to custom orders, depending on colors. 🤔 As for warps I’m thi...

I think I’m finally ready to get back to it. I may be open to custom orders, depending on colors. 🤔 As for warps I’m thinking ring spun cotton, silk/baby alpaca, or tencel. For wefts I have more cotton, tencel, sparkle silk/baby alpaca/cashmere. Or I could get some silk in of course!

I think I’m finally ready to wind up a warp. Which fiber should I use: ring spun cotton or tencel?? (Let’s just hope my ...

I’m afraid I haven’t been very active on here lately. Life is busy kicking my 🍑 (butt)
I did however decide to make sourdough bagels today, roast some fresh coffee and iron my sheets! So somewhat productive so far?
My birthday is coming up in 4 days, and I feel the time ticking away.... Every year I say that next year is my year, but I’m still waiting 😂 Maybe next year?? 🤞
Anyone have special plans for the new year?
