I bought the Ashford wavy stick shuttle at Midwest Weavers last summer (2019) after first seeing it at Convergence Reno in 2018, and then again at Rhinebeck last fall, where it was being elegantly dem

I, too, have some vintage 5/2 black UKI pearl cotton that was "falling" apart. I keep the cone to share with folks when I do my "Yarn Sleuth - Identifying that Mystery Yarn" presentation so they can e
