Not recommended for outdoor use. I hang my wreaths on the front door, behind the storm door where it is protected from the weather.

Lyon Handwovens - handwoven textiles using sustainable and rescued yarns and vintage and repurposed fabrics
Meet the Maker
Lyon Handwovens is a fusion of my early love of all things textile, a two decade career in environmental consulting, followed by another decade in quality. This fusion has resulted in narrowing my focus in weaving to using sustainable yarns (wool, cotton, silk) up-cycled materials (VHS tape, commercial carpet yarn, plastic shopping bags) and repurposed fabrics (dead stock and remnants from professional decorators, estate sales, thrift shops). Sustainability, like most things is not static and this journey I'm on will require ongoing adjustments, new paths and learning from others. I hope you'll check in periodically to see how my journey is progressing.
How it’s Made
Why rag wreaths?
Fair question and the answer is two-fold.
1) I have an abundance of 3/4-inch wide 1980's vintage cotton fabric that I acquired from a former rug weaving business as part of the inventory that came with a four harness rug loom and the reality is I can't use it all.
2) I like the look and versatility of rag wreaths - each wreath can stand on its own with no additional decoration, a simple bow can be added or your own special keepsakes or handmade/store bought decorations.
Measuring and cutting the fabric is the most time consuming part of making these wreaths and doesn't really lend itself to a group activity. Attaching the fabric to the frame takes time but doesn't require your undivided attention, so there's plenty of time to chat with your friends or kids and enjoy each other's company.
Each set of fabric is banded and labeled along with the written instructions for completing your wreath and it care after it's completed.
