I'm proud to have completed my most ambitious tablet weaving project so far. This is an intricately detailed belt with a mix of traditional and self-designed patterns. It's made from 100% cotton that I've pulled and re-spun from worn-out socks, and then dyed with recycled and plant-based materials.
It was about 2 months of work, and 5 sock-ankles-worth of cotton. I'm still working on the write-up for my website, because there's a lot to say about it.
