The old symbol is told to be for protection and good luck, and according to one interpretation, the four loops on the symbol depict the spirits of the four cardinal directions, which support the heaven above the earth. (taivaannaula.org)

Weaving with open eye.
The symbol is known in Finland/Karelia as Siivilänpesonen, but I also found the same symbol in old Ukrainian folk art, where it is called Krynytsia (Well).
The meaning to the symbol is told to be:
The well, marked by crossed diagonal lines, symbolizes the link between worlds - like a real well that draws not just water, but ancestral memory. Alongside it, the fertility rune invokes abundance and continuity of life.
New weavings from january.

I love these super thin wool yarns. They are perfect for tablet-woven earrings 🧶❤️
The pattern is based on an Finnish Iron Age grave finds from Kaarina, Kirkkomäki.

I visited the beautiful beach at Hailuoto and took a few photos of custom made tablet woven band in this stunning setting.
Hailuoto is the largest island in the Gulf of Bothnia and the third largest island in Finland.
