My interest in weaving began as a small child, spending summer afternoons watching my Finnish grandmother weave rag rugs on an old homemade loom in the barn. My grandmother was born in 1886 and was taught to weave by her mother and grandmother. "Mummu" taught me to weave when I was twelve, and I have been weaving off and on ever since, first as a hobby and now full-time, after retiring from thirty plus years of teaching middle school English. Our weaving tradition amazingly spans three centuries!
My goal is to create beautiful handwoven fabrics, inspired by the colors of New England, and fashion them into simple, timeless clothing that is rooted both in the past and the present.
