Kathy Cairns Hendershott
I'm a weaver, knitter, and Roycroft Master Artisan* near Warsaw, NY, a very rural area in Western New York State, offering handwoven and handknit items in our online shop and artisan shows. I started weaving in 2012 and made custom babywearing wraps for several years. I'm especially known especially for my use of careful color-blending and bold use of traditionally-based patterns with modern colors. *See www.ralaweb.com for more information about Roycrofters-At-Large Association There are seven traditional floor looms in our house that are never empty, with no computer or dobby-assisted mechanisms. It can take up to 25 hours to set up a loom for a project. See photos of the entire custom fabric process by checking out The Process page. I'm also an Independent Designer for KnitPicks. https://www.knitpicks.com/cfPatterns/IDP/IDP_Pattern_List.cfm?id=K00457 MORE!

My 16-shaft Macomber loom. Almost 60 years old and still going strong. Hoping to explore lots of new ideas on this one!
