Last week, I travelled down to the Sjuhärad region to deliver these heddles to Vävkompaniet and visit Åke Erlandsson, who has been making heddles for them for many years. It was awesome to see some of the heddles he's made and his workshop, where he has crafted several hundreds of them.

You can buy these heddles (and my darning mushrooms) on Vävkompaniet's website. Naturally, Åke's fantastic heddles are also available there! 😄

A huge thank you to Maria Stawåsen at Vävkompaniet for coming along and making sure I got to meet Åke.

Our friend https://thewovenbriar.co.uk/ has finished the #handfasting band for my wedding to @saintlysin@mastodon.social! Made by hand from wool from sheep that we've met, fussed and possibly tripped in the mud over.

Here is a heddle called "Sommar". I made the heddle in birch and painted it with linseed oil paint.

This heddle was a side project for almost a year and it feelt good to finally have it finished, the mountain of unfinished items is shrinking or maybe not🤔
