Weaving & Spinning Crafty Tip

Remember that when using a weaving loom your item will "shrink" when it is removed from the loom. Take the time to adjust your project to allow for the weave to tighten off the loom. Taking a few minutes to do some math will help ensure your project turns out lovely.

Weaving & Spinning Crafty Tip

There are just so many beautiful yarns available and my stash was way too full of yarns I just had to have. Finding great weaving books and old magazines is like a treasure hunt but it's not much fun to bring new treasure home only to discover I already have it in my library. A zippered day planner to the rescue! I created a list of the printed materials that I have already purchased to avoid duplicates. I took small samples of my yarn stash and created a color book with quantity. official color name and manufacturer. Now when I go to shows and my favorite yarn stores, I can compare what I have with what's new and make more financially sound buying decisions.
