The WeftyWoman Url will be changing on January 10 to http://weftywoman.blogspot.com
I know that things have been rather quiet, and lame ass lately. Hopefully I can get some angst up and start posting again.
Thank you,

Spinning for Warps
Has anyone spun Bamboo for their own weaving projects?
I have spun silk, cotton and all sorts of animal fiber (wool, alpaca, dog...etc.) However, I have fallen in love with this bamboo fiber, and was curious if anyone has had experience spinning and dyeing it. Specifically for warp use.
What about other fibers...maybe we can get a little discussion going about various fibers and how you spin them for warps.
Thank you,

4. Find roomy comment fields allowing up to 2000 characters and pictures to document your creative warping, weaving and finishing processes.
5. Click on any project picture or draft entered in the last month and it will automatically enlarge (Try a second click for even greater detail!).
