Lesley’s latest weaving. The wool for the blue blanket is acid-died. The wool for the shawls in the cabinet is alpaca, some acid-died, some colored with natural dyes such as cochineal, indigo, and black walnut. www.lesleycreed.com/new-page
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the

Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
Beautiful. Love the blue blanket on the loom. And my next favorite is the black/white check in the cabinet.
Thank you for sharing some of Lesley’s work. Every time you do, it feels like magic to me…That someone can take bits of thread/yarn/etc, and create this warmth and beauty.
Love the glimpse of her hands, holding a tiny cuppa tea 🙂
