We, Véronique Perrot and Lisa Hill, aka Petit Chêne Fibers and Plain Weave, welcome you to Ground Weave. 

Ground Weave is our new baby,  born from our weekly textile talks. We began meeting regularly via Zoom to revise and refine weaving patterns for publication on Etsy. However, we found that our conversations quickly expanded to include technical discoveries and woes, yarn lore, current challenges and textile news.

We live many states apart (Georgia and Massachusetts), and have different weaving tastes, looms, studios, training and aesthetics. Despite all these differences, we agree on a lot, and for the rest find it very stimulating to argue and hear counterarguments. Even though we (on occasion) call the other stubborn, we come out of these discussions with a deeper understanding and a clearer view of absolutes and relatives in our weaving practices.

Here we want to organize and hone these arguments, invite you to read them, and add your perspective. Tell us how stubborn you are…
