Crochet and weaving are both crafts that blend artistry with technical skills. Merging the two is not just a unique crafting technique, but a way of working with textiles that truly celebrates texture. Saule is a more unusual, unexpected and intriguing choice due to the uniqueness inherent in this extraordinary design. You’ll be surprised how interesting and satisfying it is to weave the crocheted straps into a voluminous basketweave fabric.
