Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based textile designer Beckie Hynes blends her passion for weaving with her love of recycling by creating woven goods from salvaged t-shirts. She slices the shirts and weaves the t-shirt "yarn" on her upright tapestry loom. This is the same exact loom on which she learned to weave in 1998. She then sews that fabric into pillows, purses, rugs, or mounts it to be hung on a wall. Beckie's experience as a commercial textile colorist, textile designer, and surface design (wallpaper) stylist has fashioned her unique sense of color play, which is evident in her work.
