Elena Vilar

Elena Vilar, daughter and great-granddaughter of weavers, naturally turned to contemporary weaving. Influenced by her family's craft, and impressed by how yarn could be made simply at home through reused t-shirts and more, Elena taught herself to weave through multiple books and videos. She then decided to share her tips, tricks and ideas on a blog, Deer Jane, which now inspires French and international reader alike who admire her beautiful creations and lovely writing style. Now, not a day goes by without her weaving! She continues to write her blog to share her latest discoveries, and sells her creations via her Etsy shop. Elena lives in Nantes, France, with her husband and little daughter Jeanne.
