Handwoven Fabric Dolls
Lynn
Lynn is wearing a two piece outfit that I wove on my loom.
I used a 4/2 variegated cotton to represent a light color and a 3/8 wool to represent a dark color. The weave is a 8 harness Diagonal Shadow weave. Betty Vera gave a workshop to the Frances Irwin Handweavers in New Jersey in 2005 called “Planned Color Surprises: Weaving with Variegated Yarns”. The pattern was taken from the book “200 Patterns for Multiple Harness Looms: 5 to 2 Harness Patterns for Handweavers” by Russell E. Groff, page 100. Lynn and her clothes are my own design.
This is the fabric that I wove and cut for Lynn’s dress.
