From Milkweed to Silkweed:
Weaving a Cocoon

is an exploration of using Milkweed Floss to create wearable textile art. Following the lead of Monarch Butterflies and Milkweed Tussock Moths, I will incorporate wild Milkweed floss into handspun yarn to be woven into a wearable Cocoon Shawl. Milkweed is both a familiar and a unique fiber source in Washington County - growing wildly and abundantly with deep connections to other plants and animals. Throughout the project, I will share my interactions with Milkweed and my experience of crafting the coziest of creations with the wider community.

PROJECT UPDATES COMING SOON!
