- Greetings!
-
- Good gentles, I have developed a strong and sudden urge to learn
- more about the textile arts, particularly spinning, carding and
- weaving. I am in need of sources for spinning wheels (preferably
- kits, as I would at least like to finish it myself) and carders,
- and titles of books which take one through the process from
- cleaning the wool through carding and spinning, through dyeing.
- There are classes on weaving taught at the local University. My
- goal is to produce a hand-woven cloak by next winter. I have
- already been offered next spring's shearing from a co-worker's
- pet sheep, and since this is an agricultural area, an adequate
- supply of wool will be easy to obtain.
-
- Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
