I love these super thin wool yarns. They are perfect for tablet-woven earrings 🧶❤️

The pattern is based on an Finnish Iron Age grave finds from Kaarina, Kirkkomäki.

I visited the beautiful beach at Hailuoto and took a few photos of custom made tablet woven band in this stunning setting.
Hailuoto is the largest island in the Gulf of Bothnia and the third largest island in Finland.

@iju Moi! Millaisesta vyöstä olisi kyse? Etsyssä hinnoissa on niiden provikat mukana ja postimaksu eu-alueelle eli jos suomeen tilaa ei nekään ole niin paljoa kun hoidetaan kaupat ilman välikäsiä :)

New custom made belt. I really like this pattern. For me they look like dragons.

When I get an idea I usually have to test it in practice straight away.

Now my old holster has a new look.

A perfect evening to take some bands out and get forest energy into them.

Custom work.
The symbol designed by the customer which I translated into a weaving pattern.
Love this comission and it taught me a lot!
This is also the widest belt I have ever weaved. More width in the world! 🤎💛

Key chains.

Soon you can find these tablet-woven key chains in the Fatabur museum shop in Turku Castle.

Commissioned work.

I was asked again if it's not hard when there's no running water and you always have to heat it when you want to wash.
Of course, this always takes time, but these are important breaks for me as otherwise I wouldn't let go of weaving except to go to bed.
The hardest washing for me was on Koh Tao, Thailand when it was super dry and there was no running water for a couple of weeks. You had to buy 20 litre drinking water cans and shower with them. Everything is relative. Now I'm doing really well 💧

@cthululemon Yes! I'm just about to take a shipment to the Post Office which will continue on its way to Ohio :) Unfortunately I can't say how much the new customs regulations will increase the amount to be paid by the Americans, because I don't collect the duties, it's done by the customs authorities (in Finland this can be done through a courier company when the product is on its way to the buyer).
