Soumak Tapestries by Joanna Gleason: Soumak weaving is a very old form of finger weaving first done by the Persians hundreds of years ago. It is a series of knots (the weft) which completely cover a warp. There are no shuttles or harnesses or any sort of tool, only your fingers working to cover a streched warp. Some of these tapestries are DMC floss on a cotton warp, and the others are all handcarded, hand dyed, handspun yarn from our own wool (also on a cotton warp). The wool tapestries have a hand felted mat which is also of our wool. Most of these works have been exhibited in regional fiber shows and some are for sale.
