FLEECEWEAVING (Book)
This is a fleeceweaving workshop
in book form. It takes you from
grungy fleece through skirting,
washing, dyeing (with natural or

roving, and weaving into a usable
item. If you don't have a loom, it
tells you how to make a simple
one that works great, and you
only need basic tools to build it.
The book tells you how to finish
the rug or material and how to cut
patterns to use with the material.

a good friend in south central Missouri. The

(beginning or advanced) who have not tried
spinning in the grease or who have forgotten
how truly enjoyable it can be. Instructions for
spinning and weaving are included, plus a
section on how to build drop spindles, the
triangle loom, and the fringemaker.

This is truly a video workshop. It is simple,
basic, and fun. The video or DVD takes you
through a one-pot method, as well as other
methods, with information about mordants,
including their safety and disposal. It
shows the color changes that can happen
by changing the ph of a dyepot, the
equipment you might like use, colorways,
and cooking up advanced mordant baths. It

dyebaths using pre-mordanted fibers, how
to prove if a dyestuff is colorfast, and

dyestuffs and how simple natural dyeing can
be.
