Paper Yarn Panel

This wall hanging was handwoven using flat, slightly twisted paper yarn in the warp and a combination of paper yarns and raffia in the weft. The properties of these yarns are rigid. They are unruly on the loom and give the resulting piece a character totally different from 'normal' fabric that drapes. The block design is an exploration of geometric patterns, with an emphasis on joyful irregularity.
