Dirt-Dyed and Plant-Dyed Garden Apron

For this apron, embrace the unpredictability of natural dyes and try your hand at dyeing the yarns you weave, crochet, and stitch using mud and plant materials. Use a pin loom and the mud-dyed yarns to weave the body of the apron, and then crochet the squares together and add straps using those same yarns. Turn next to your plant-dyed yarns to add the whimsical Swedish huck embroidery.

Garden Party Purse

Use a pair of pick-up sticks to create texture on the rigid-heddle loom reminiscent of a garden trellis. An asymmetrical flap adds interest, and a twisted cord finishes off this handy bag. Make it your own with an optional pin-loom flower or a bit of embroidery on the flap.

Sand, Sea, and Sky Runner

Keep memories of the beach alive with this pin-loom–woven seascape table runner. Slip-stitch crochet adds spindrift and wave motion to the textured ocean section, and light embroidery embellishes the sky with seabirds.

Geometric Wave Scarves

A little bit of embroidery elevates a simple wool scarf into something special. Weave, embroider, fringe, and wear for a drapey accessory, or gently felt the scarf for a more windproof wrap.
