FROM MY LOOM TO YOUR ROOM
Handwoven Textiles by Barbara Lyons Pickel
Fine Linens Collection
All of my handwoven linens are meant to be used. Tablecloths, table runners, hand towels, some in classic swedish blue and white and some in cheerful, bright colors, can change the look of a table or room in an instant. Several of the pieces below were woven at Vavstuga on a drawloom or in Vavstuga Treasures workshops. Others I designed and wove at home on either my 100cm or 135cm Glimakra loom.
