The beauty is in the process. We can't help but believe what we're doing at the Coast Salish Wool Weaving Center is preserving ancestral weaving while creating good energy for all to experience. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #cswwc #burkemuseum

The process of dyeing is a hands-on experience! The Coast Salish Wool Weaving Center showcased the process during a Dye workshop at the Evergreen State College. #CoastSalishWoolWeavingCenter #CSWWC #BurkeMuseum

Yarns hanging to dry. Yellow from marigolds and green from an over-dye process starting with yellow and over-dyeing with indigo to create green. The process is beautiful. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #cswwc #burkemuseum

Guess what?! There are at least two different weaving techniques in Coast Salish Wool Weaving. This is one of the techniques: twining weft around a vertical warp. The other is twill weaving. Follow us for more weaving facts. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #cswwc #burkemuseum

The photo above demonstrates the process where yarn is hand spun with hand on the spindal whorl. The yarn is then hung on the drying rack after setting. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #burkemuseum #cswwc

This photo is showing the swift again but in a different direction. The weaver pictured is counting the rotation of the yarn and does this by making sure all of the yarn is slightly apart. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #burkemuseum #cswwc

This is a picture of a few "rolags." Prior to Spinning the wool on the spindle whorl, this is what the wool looks like when it has been carted, cleaned, and brushed. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #burkemuseum

The photo above shows the process called "twining." Two of the four customary Coast Salish patterns are used here, the squares and the waves. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #burkemuseum #coastsalish

Demonstrating the process of winding the yarn onto an umbrella swift. Putting the yarn onto the swift, is a way to dye the yarn to skein. It also is used to shock the yarn and "slightly felt" the yarn, or make it stronger. #coastsalishwoolweavingcenter #burkemuseum
