Sally Talaga
Woodland Weaver & More
Sally Talaga discovered hand weaving shortly after moving to Honesdale, PA in 1982 when she attending a demonstration by members of the Woodland Weavers & Spinners Guild. Through its classes, workshops, equipment exchange and lending library she honed her skills while at home raising a family. Then, for almost twenty-five years as Executive Director of Wayne County Historical Society, she had little time for weaving. After her retirement in 2013, Sally has been exploring tradition weave structures to create colorful wearables and home furnishings.

“You know what a necklace is, which is usually made of some sort of metal. So when it is made of fabric (textile), what do you call it?
a texlace
These 100% cotton texlaces are hand woven using a very time consuming inlay technique called theo-morman. Each texlace took about 25 hours just to weave. That is not counting the time it took to design, calculate the length and measure the warp, dress the loom and hand finish each piece once they came off the loom.”
