Hi Friends -
My hubby and I are visiting Italy for a couple of weeks and I'm looking for weaving places, yarns etc.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated -
Warm regards,
Chrystal

In Florence, see if you can join a guided tour of the Lisio Foundation for Silk Arts https://www.fondazionelisio.org/en/ to see skilled professional weavers using manual Jacquard looms. Janis On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 9:27 AM Chrystal de Freitas via groups.io <chrysdef=aol.com@groups.io> wrote:

Antico Setificio Fiorentino, Florence https://anticosetificiofiorentino.com/ They don't seem to organize guided tours, but there are professionally guided tours, such as this one: https://florencewhatelse.it/en/prox_experience/guided-tour-stefano-riccis-antico-setificio-fiorentino/ Museo del Tessuto, Prato (near Florence) https://www.museodeltessuto.it/?lang=en Anna Ravano Il 27/01/23 18:36, Janis Johnson ha scritto:
