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

Ground Weave was born from our weekly conversations. We began meeting regularly via Zoom to revise and refine weaving patterns for publication on Etsy. However, we found that our conversations expanded to include all facets of our weaving lives. We shared technical discoveries and woes, yarn lore, current challenges and textile news.

We live many states apart (Georgia and Massachusetts), we have different weaving tastes, looms, studios, weaving training (Lisa is a Master Weaver), backgrounds (Véronique is a reformed scientist) and perspectives. 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 better 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…
