I'm a weaver from Finland. Atm I weave only as a hobby, due to lack of time and space. But here are some of my work. These are all babywearing wraps.

This first is Puunhalaaja (Treehugger). I won a Finnish weaving competition with this.

This is Contrast Concrete, participant in a competition themed 'Light'. (3rd place)

IRL, inspiration in Monet painting.

The Essence (of Fantasy)

Progress, participant in a 'music' themed competition. My first dye ever.

Puunhalaaja and it's 'sister' Tapiotar, inspired by aspen in autumn.

BFF, Blueberry Fields Forever

The Outer Limits.

I was not a crafty person at all before, but my friend lured me to weaving class 5 years ago and got me fully hooked. I dye the yarns I use and design almost all of the patterns myself. Takes my mind away from stress. Best part is seeing how the weft works with the warp and how it all mixes together to make something new.

Amazing . You have some spectacular art here

That “light” interpretation is magical. I love how you used the inspiration photo. 10/10 would buy and I don’t even have kids.

Thank you! I feel like I nailed the inspo in that one too.

Those are some gorgeous baby wraps. My wife always used just some pretty plain cottons ones.

Just bought a rigid heddle! Currently waiting for the heddle blocks to arrive, as they were missing from the set.

I've dreamed of rigid heddle aswell for smaller projects! I hope it's good and you get to weaving soon!
