Lucille Crighton creates intricately woven, one-of-a-kind, handwoven jackets, vests and scarves for a private clientele, select craft shows and galleries.
"I find inspiration everywhere...in nature, art, architecture, cultural and modern textiles. My work reflects my love of colour and design."
For the 16-shaft warp faced fabrics the colours & textures are designed on a cardboard reeling. The patterns for these fabrics are designed using the computer. Then the yarn is wound onto the loom and threaded, ready for weaving.
The weft-faced fabric is designed on a 4-shaft loom, balancing colour, value, and texture while weaving and using up to 30 different yarns in one jacket.

Jacket prices range from $600 to $1200 Canadian.
