 Two new lessons have arrived in my School of SweetGeorgia (SOS) series, Techniques in Tapestry! In them I show you how to weave and decrease in pick'n'pick, as well as how to create transparency where two woven shapes converge. What is pick'n'pick you ask? Pick'n'pick is what weavers call vertical stripes which are one warp wide each. In practice it looks like weaving one pick of one colour and then one pick of another colour in opposite sheds. Alternating between two colours creates vertical lines. It sounds easy, but there are some key tips that you need to know going in. I also show you how to decrease in pick'n'pick, which isn't as intuitive as you might think either! If you're not already an SOS member sign up for my newsletter to get a discount: https://everleatextiles.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=4f7c87f2a2afd8a8bd72aeae3&id=9a8acb03ef As it is, membership starts at only 19 USD/month for all my tapestry content AND the entire library of SOS knitting, weaving and dyeing library of courses.

Welcome to the Vancouver Yarn blog! This space exists to celebrate and spread the word about all events, new local patterns, products and businesses. Submit the details of an event or new locally designed knitting/crochet pattern, or other local DIY news and I'll post about it here. Thank you! ~Janna Vallee 
Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor and natural dyer at Everlea Yarn, and the tapestry instructor at The School of SweetGeorgia. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program.
I created Vancouver Yarn in 2008 as a space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events, pattern releases as well as share Community Highlights. Do you have an event, KAL, yarn or pattern release, launch or other thing you want us to post? Just fill out the form at the top of this page, or send your press release to me at janna (at) vancouveryarn.com Thank you!
