About this Product
Pretty-in-Pink handwoven poncho; my own one-of-a-kind design. Women love pink year-round for it's femininity and softness. The first pink poncho I wove sold in one day! Pink and its variations are flattering on most people.
Be stylish as well as warm.
Great gift idea--no sizing necessary. One size fits most.
Yarns can include wool, cotton, rayon, bouclé, acrylic, and blends.
The beauty of this design is changing the look by turning the wrap front to back or sideways, giving you 4 designs in one. My signature piece incorporates anywhere from 7-10 yarns chosen for color, texture, and the quality of the yarn.
The poncho-shaped wrap goes over the head and is open at the sleeve. Seams are meant to show with hand-sewn X's down the sides or in front, depending on how the wrap is worn.
I weave on a 6 or 8-harness floor loom and often design as I go. I choose the yarns first, but determine which comes next as I weave. I chose to leave weft ends dangling as a design element because it adds flow to your movements.
Care: Hand wash in cool, rinse, then lay flat on a large towel and roll up carefully to remove excess water. Dry flat.
Patt711
Meet the Maker
My name is Patt, spelled with 2 t's because I like to stand out from the many Patricias and Pats in this world.
Creating new, colorful art suits my multi-tasking lifestyle.
Born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, I found knitting, then weaving as "indoor sports" after moving to the coast and experiencing summer’s heavy coastal fog.
Vivid colors and textures drive my work as a textile designer. I consider myself eclectic — I knit, weave, felt, dye, and design and create jewelry. My passion is blending colors and textures into jewelry and textile designs while not following rules and doing the expected. I strive for wearable art pieces - my works are one of a kind. I create unusual pieces and prefer being ahead of the crowd rather than part of it.
Ice-dyeing led me to dye textiles for fashion designers. My work has sold in stores and at craft shows 4 to 5 times a year. I love the in-person selling, but like many artists, the pandemic forced me online, which has been a bonus because now I have new customers from all over the country.
I started online as Patt711 on Etsy and success encouraged me to add GoImagine.com with its new give-back concept. If you live in or visit the SF Bay Area around Thanksgiving, I also participate in Open Studios in November and that information can be found on our website: www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do creating it.
