Chaya Nessa
CHAYA NESSA - LOVER OF FLOWERS: 
Chaya Nessa loves flowers.  I designed this 
doll and wove the fabric for her clothes. She 
is named after my youngest granddaughter. 

This is the doll that appears on page 376 of 
the book "500 HANDMADE DOLLS: 
MODERN EXPLORATIONS OF THE 
HUMAN FORM" published by Lark Books. 
CHAYA NESSA'S GOLD AND BROWN SKIRT: 
 
This skirt was woven on the same warp as the 
flowered blouse using doubled 2/17 wool.  The 
yellow weft is also 2/17 wool.   I used a pattern 
from "A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Pattern: 
Edited by Carol Strickler, page 28, pattern 97p 
for this weave.

CHAYA NESSA'S BLOUSE & SKIRT TRIM FABRIC: 

The weave for this blouse is an 8 harness reverse 
twill.  I used 2/17 wool doubled for the warp and for 
the alternate tabby (plain weave) and 5/2 pearl 
cotton doubled for the flower design.  This flower 
was my own design.
