Lynn Blevens
The Weaving Welshman
also known as

First and foremost Lynn
wants people to know of
his love for God. The Creator
of the Heavens and the Earth,
The God of Abraham,
Isaaic, and Jacob.
His love for family and
his country, the USA and
his love for weaving.
THE WEAVER
by Benjamin Malacia Franklin
Between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forgets He sees the upper,
And I the under side.
Not til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are
As needful In the Weaver's
Skillful hand, as the
Threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
He knows, He loves, He Cares, Nothing this truth can Dim. He gives His very best
To those who leave the
Choice with Him.

With the strong influence of the Deep South and a Welsh heritage rooted into Lynn’s background it is no wonder he is down to earth and has a quiet inner strength that runs deep.
Lynn lives in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho with his new wife Dorothy who was also his long time friend from the seventh grade on. Being engaged to be married at one time in their mid twenties they parted ways. The two reconnected after being apart for thirty years and the bond was still there. It is a true love story. The two beagles, Shlomo and Samuel, round out the family.
Lynn enjoys spending time with Dorothy's daughter Valerie, the four grandkids Gene, Hillary, Bailey, Justice and the two great grandbabies, Jaylah and Aylee and thier mama Rachael.
Lynn is a member of:
Fontier Folk
Contemporary Longrifle Association
Traditional Muzzleloading Association
State Representative for
North Idaho.
Lynn enjoys the people he meets and the time he spends at the rendezvous and black powder shows.
Bringing along ‘Loomzilla’, his hand built floor loom, there is always a crowd around him when he puts on demonstrations and takes orders for his original straps.
Lynn has acquired a Swedish Floor Loom and is looking forward to adding more products and designs in the future.
