Creative reuse..

The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use.  It is not recycling, it's reuse.
~ Issey Miyake

Once upon a time there was a sweater.

Soft.

Labeled made in Nepal.

Sitting by its sad self at the thrift store.

Of course I couldn't leave it there.

It came home to join pieces of:

~ other reclaimed fiber

~ thrifted yarn

~ donated yarn

~ a tiny bit of hand spun

(with bits of an Oscar de la Renta scarf spun in)

~ recycled sari silk fabric

..to make this..

Handwoven Saori style wrap 

created on my little cricket rigid heddle loom.

New.  Wearable. Use.

Summer Harvest..

Little scarf off the loom and just popped it in the shop..

..hand dyed, hand spun weft..

.. golden warm and soft..

.. is like wearing a little hug from summer!

So much fun..
