Construction of cowl
Woven on one of my rigid heddle looms, the four colors of yarn, are woven into a crescendo of colors beginning with a true red, moving to red-orange, then orange and ending in a dramatic change to yellow. Yellow increases in width with each repeat of the pattern in both the length and width of the weave, this asymmetrical pattern draws the eye's attention to the details of the cowl.
Woven with Harrisville Design wool and finished with hand twisted fringe, the raw edge is encased in a flat-felled seam (like the double-stitched seam of jeans) next to the fringe. Since wool "blooms" during the wet finishing stage the melding of the red to orange gradient change blurs this change fooling the eye to think that red is the main color without overpowering the yellow.

Lyon Handwovens
Meet the Maker
Lyon Handwovens is a fusion of my early love of all things textile, a two decade career in environmental consulting, followed by another decade in quality. This fusion has resulted in narrowing my focus in weaving to using sustainable yarns (wool, cotton, silk) up-cycled materials (VHS tape, commercial carpet yarn, plastic shopping bags) and repurposed fabrics (dead stock and remnants from professional decorators, estate sales, thrift shops). Sustainability, like most things is not static and this journey I'm on will require ongoing adjustments, new paths and learning from others. I hope you'll check in periodically to see how my journey is progressing.

Packaging: In an effort to provide environmentally friendly packaging, I try to use products that contain recycled post-consumer materials, as little plastic as possible and to the extent feasible packaging the buyer can reuse.
