Camel Hair Tallit

Just had a request from a lady about another tallit contract.
It seemed like a good opportunity to mention that I do weave tallit from cashmere, camel hair, alpaca, silk, as well as other exotics and luxury fibers.
http://www.cherrihankins.com is the place to begin looking
I also have
http://custom-tallit.tripod.com
http://tallitot.tripod.tripod.com
http://tallitweaver.tripod.com
This will provide several opportunities for viewing my tallit and prices.
I hand-weave tallitot, and if the client requests it, hand-spun the yarns also.
More later.

tallitot commissions

The commission that I mentioned having some problems with has to be removed from the loom, and I have to start over.
I am tying a dummy warp on now. I will try to post images of the dummy warp being tied on.

current tallit commission

Hi, Life is very busy with 2 tallitot commissions due within the next month. Here are pics of the warps I'm measuring out. The color of this one is Straw. It's tencel. It's just great. The stripes will be olive and merlot, and rose.

Amazing Fun!

Wow! It sure has been fun around here lately. We had a great dye workshop, several wonderful classes, and have finished a number of pieces including chiengora, and handspun silk. My son moved the futon out of the studio at Roseneath, and we have gotten 2 additional students there. There is currently a waiting list for that studio. I have openings for the Glen Allen studio, though.
Last Saturday, I taught a Tie-dye workshop at Bay School in Mathews, Va and this coming Saturday, I have a fiber arts dye workshop at the Cultural Arts center at Glen Allen. If you are interested in joining that, please visit their website.
There is also an upcoming drop spindling workshop the first Sat. in June.
I am also finishing up a tallit, and negotiating a new one. I'm having so much fun. Hopefully, you are too.
Stay in touch.I will post pictures of some of the latest work.

My weaving

This is one of my handwoven and handspun tallitot. It is a tencel warp, with a handspun, lace weight singles as weft. The singles is south african fine wool.
