Weaving is a slow process. By carefully selecting and combining materials I create one of a kind textiles that can be used in fashion and in interior design.

I only use natural and sustainably sourced materials. To get a specific look I dye yarns myself. Everything is entirely made by hand so no two pieces will ever be the same.

Currently I am rethinking my approach to textiles and working on up scaling my production capacity. This way I can offer you even more unique pieces in the future.

Linnen • Weaving cloth by hand is a very slow process. Therefore it’s very important to me that the raw materials I use are worthy of all that extra time and effort. Materials that will age well and that are responsibly sourced. It’s
Blurry lines • Linnen samples, playing around with textures and light. Researching structures for handtowels #handwoven #textiles #samples #linnen #textures #weaving #textiledesign #madebyhand #slowdesign #handtowel
My happy place • Do what you love the most; a reminder to myself and to all those who need it… #workspace #handweaving #weavingloom #textiledesign #woven #textiles #handmade #slowdesign #slowliving #workinprogress #handwoven #fabrics #tru
Tools • I love how the indigo just dyes all natural materials into beautiful shades of blue. Like these clothes pegs used to make a resist pattern and this wooden dowel I have been using to stire all my vats. So many creative opportunities from
Intro into resist techniques • Last month I took a masterclass @textielfabrique where we learned more about indigo dyeing and experimented with different resist techniques; kasuri, shibori and katazome are Japanese textile techniques to create p
Untangling yarn • Using my old yarn swift, which is basically like a wooden umbrella, to unwind my hand dyed yarns. Normally I am always looking for yarns on cones, but hand dyeing is making me go back to hanks. An extra step but I am liking the
Weaving with hand dyed indigo yarn • It’s been really interesting to see the radom weft patterns these ikat style yarns create while weaving. They give an unpredictable and organic element to the design process. Depending on how you tied t
Bobbins • Hand dyed organic cotton combined with blue linnen. I dyed these yarns a while back in our garden using my indigo vat. Now i am finally getting to weave with them and discover the patterns they make in the cloth. A technique loosely re
Finished my first big warp • Very happy with the results of my first full width warp! I do think I spend more time setting up the loom, then I did weaving it off using the flying shuttle... This loom stores your woven fabric at the back so you c
Last section • All spooled up and ready to go! Now the fun part can start... #weaving #textiledesign #handloom #handwoven #textiles #workinprogress #madebyhand #slowdesign #organic #cotton #sectionalwarping #warpingtheloom
Thread by thread • The last step between the spools and the beam is the tensionbox. With this little handy tool all the threads stay nicely sorted and under proper tension. Like that everything goes onto the loom neatly to start weaving. Using a
Setting up the loom at full width for the first time • For this loom I use the methode of sectional warping to be able to put on longer and wider warps. With this methode you wind all the yarn you need on smaller spools first, before winding the
Building a new loom • For a long time now I have been searching for ways to make handweaving and weaving my own work a bigger part of my everyday life. After some big unexpected changes last year, I decided to give it a shot and buy a new loom t
