The Rhys warp! Blue, orange, and red! Inspired by artist Rhys Farrell, and the amazing job he did creating the multi-sided mural that now adorns our straw bale weaving studio!

We just rethreaded our 16-harness AVL loom! A bold experiment that had us both nervous and thrilled! For the test run, we decided to finally use our stash of undyed organic cotton.
You know why we had so much of it? Because nobody wanted to use it. It just sat there looking… beige. The colour of porridge and bandaids and knee-high stockings. On a shelf full of beautiful colours, it was always the second last pick! (Long story for another day, but the royal blue boucle remains firmly in last place! 😂)
But here’s the thing: as a warp choice, it’s basically the tofu of yarn. Neutral, yes — but pair it with anything and it absolutely sings! We’ve been weaving all kinds of weft colours through it, and trying a variety of treadling combinations, and we’re genuinely giddy with all the possibilities! The handwoven tea towels coming from this warp are so beautiful… people might not believe they’re made by hand! 😀✨
