I saw my first spinning wheel calling to me from the window of a store called Spin 'n' Weave almost 20 yrs. ago. Even now, three spinning wheels and four looms later, a thrill still goes through me when I am handling a fiber, spinning thread or watching colours and patterns come into being under my hand. Few things make me happier than sitting down and creating cloth from fiber.
Discovering each new textile related link on the Web gives me that same thrill. Everytime I find a new one, I add it to this page! If you see a link that I should add, please let me know.
