Zlati

HANDWOVEN FABRIC:  Zlati's dress and scarf 

are woven on a 4 harness loom with a reverse 

twill threading.  Her warp is made up of 5 strands 

of variegated yarn that is not seen after the fabric 

is woven.  The weft is made up of several strands 

that are used together as one.  Several strands of 

red, several strands of white and several strands 

of blue.

ZLATI - KEEPING FIT:  

I designed, sewed, stuffed, 

painted Zlati's face and 

wove her skirt and scarf on 

my loom.  Zlati loves to 

exercise and keep fit.  She 

is wearing her handwoven 

skirt and scarf in her 

favorite colors,  red, white 

and blue.  These colors 

stand for America, the 

country she loves.  Zlati is 

named after my daughter.
