Studio View: Dunes

I’m using these lovely bulky yarns with twists and sticks in the studio. The set up is similar to a backstrap loom by attaching the yarn to sticks from the garden. The yarns are soft and bulky. The colors serene.

Have you noticed native grasses and goldenrod growing in the sand? They’re both wonderful helpers. They help to prevent erosion and provide shelter for wildlife. The goldenrod also provides food for pollinators.

I’ve been enjoying the process of making a larger textile and so happy with the result. The approximate dimensions are 60 x 25 x 1 inches.
