Kati, I have not seen a universal document, but I think this topic was touched upon during HGA's Spinning & Weaving Week panel talk presented Monday, Oct 6, "Submitting & Being Accepted into Exhibitio

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

Interesting article! Spinning dog hair is illegal in New Jersey. I thought this might be an urban myth, but it is not. The reason the law was enacted was for the reason Judy C mentioned.

Sigrid's book is the one I used.

I wove a series of projects with this technique and posted how I did it (with several photos) via Ravelry. Making the chenille worms used a spaced warp and special threading. Once woven, the thick fab

Are there any plans to launch Complexity as a virtual exhibition?

Laura, I got to see Kerstin's AMAZING, gigantic mangle in operation last summer when I was in Sweden. Meeting her in person was one of the highlights of my trip!

Thanks for the helpful input!

I have a hand-built, 4-shaft jack floor loom that could be as old as 75-100 years. I am wondering if there is any maintenance I need to perform to the industrial-style belt that provides tension for t
