About
How It Began
Lo Meets Loom is my story of love at first sight… and unrequited love. As a life-long multicraftual maker, I have been surrounded by yarn and colour for decades, and it was only a matter of time before I was introduced to weaving. From the moment I threw those first few picks at the loom, I knew this felt different.
For me, spending unbroken time with my loom(s) is something that is desperately out of reach. Warping happens in fits and spurts. Projects live on the loom for months. This space is my second brain when it comes to weaving and helps me remember what I was doing and why I believed it was meaningful.
All weaving, all the time.

I began weaving in 2006 and started on a Leclerc Dorothy table loom. My second project was a wool and mohair blanket that I wove for my best friend, Michelle, on a Leclerc Nilus jack loom. Next, a weft-faced rug woven on a Leclerc Fanny counterbalance loom that I gave to my mom. Working on these humble projects brought me a joy that I have been trying to articulate and share ever since.
Around the same time, I founded SweetGeorgia Yarns which grew to include the School of SweetGeorgia and SweetGeorgia + Co. I also wrote a book called Dyeing to Spin & Knit and have many numerous courses on weaving, dyeing, spinning, knitting, and multicraftual making.
Today, I weave on two Louet Spring countermarche looms, a Schacht Baby Wolf jack loom, a Leclerc 45″ Mira and a Leclerc 27″ Fanny counterbalance looms. I’m exploring the interactions of hand-dyed yarn in handwoven cloth.
