Patty Huffer

Patty Huffer lives in Washington state and has been weaving since 1981. After graduating from Central Washington University, with a dual education degree in Home Economics and Physical Education, she took a summer weaving class. This began her 40 years of weaving and teaching others to weave and spin. The love of fibers and teaching others has been a life-long inspiration for her. Starting at a young age with knitting, crocheting, cross stitch and needle point. There are new ideas coming from students, fiber artists and other weavers all the time. She looks forward to the moment when each student, for the first time, understands how a woven piece is constructed resulting in a beautifully finished product. Patty’s experience and use of many varieties of looms and threading has contributed to her ongoing passion for weaving. It is always amazing what can be achieved with different yarns (natural and synthetic) and woven structures.
