S/S 2013 is here!

The spring thaw has begun here in Maine and with only one week left until the official first day of the Spring season the transition from winter coat, hat and boots to light Spring clothing can be a tricky one. With that, I am pleased to announce the arrival of my Spring/Summer collection of hand woven scarves and some very special items coming soon. If you missed me last weekend at Dose Market in Chicago, please visit herronclothier.com to see whats new!


In other weaving-related news; on March 8th, I had the pleasure of co-teaching a one day weaving workshop at The Chicago Weaving School with the amazing Natalie Boyett. A special thank you to Natalie and all of our wonderful students who signed up and learned how to spin wool into yarn and weave it into something beautiful. Here are some photos from our class:

Around the studio

I am in high production mode at present. It's a frenzy of weaving and sewing for Herron Clothier's 2013 S/S Collection, which will debut March 10th at Dose Market in Chicago. Here are a few instagram photos of some work in progress in the studio.

And a big warm thanks to the lovely Caitlin Kerr, who wrote a sweet blog post recently about Herron Clothier scarves <3>
