🧶 Hello from the Barefooted Weaver! Hi, I’m Karen Homann — a fiber artist, educator, and storyteller who’s been weaving for over 40 years. My hands have danced with everything from chenille to hemp, and my heart beats for slow, soulful making. I created this space for weavers (and soon-to-be weavers) who want to:✅ Learn real techniques, not just Pinterest fluff✅ Ask questions without feeling awkward✅ See the process — not just the perfect result I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes, mini demos, how-tos, and real talk about weaving, selling, and staying inspired. 🧵 First up: I’m demoing how to weave a bookmark on a potholder frame (yes, really — it works!)▶️ Check out the video in the classroom tab. 🗨️ Drop a comment and let me know:What loom are you using (or dreaming of)?Rigid heddle? Inkle? 4-harness floor? Something else? Let’s make this space worth showing up for. – Karen | @barefootedweaver
