Lately I've been absolutely OBSESSED with weaving. The history is absolutely amazing and I knew I wanted to be a part of this ancient art. I know I said this before but did you know other cultures have their way of weaving?? This ancient art was done for so long and was their primary source of textiles!!! Can you tell I'm excited by all of the !!!'s? haha. Weavers ranged from the beautiful Kente cloth in Africa to the fabric from our bags in Asia. Literally all cultures has some form of weaving. I was so intrigued that I wanted to test this out myself. I hope you enjoy!

I made my weaving loom and started to weave the thread over and under to form the tabby weave in white

I then added some knots called raya knots. I did 2 rows of black and 2 rows of white

I kept up the patterns (knots and tabby weave) then moved onto piles which are the fluffy cloud like weaving patterns.

I really, REALLY love the way this came out! If you'd like to see more detailed step by step instructions with a full materials list, please visit my blog post by clicking here.
