The sale of Dorothy’s weaving treasures went well. Thank you to everyone.
This is most embarrassing. My email address is wrong on the Guild Membership list. Please note that it should be: Ballen004@yahoo.com. K

From the Library
From the guild library
Foot Treadle Loom Weaving, Edward Worst, 1976, Cloudburst Press (revised and retitled version of Foot Power Loom Weaving, 1924, Bruce Publishing Company) not currently a part of the guild library
This is detailed text of handweaving equipment and methods, as well as outlining many traditional weaving drafts. There are diagrams of design and construction of looms and other weaving equipment; included are explanations of warping, beaming, threading the reed, and use of shuttles, bobbin winder, swifts and temples. The final chapter discusses vegetable dye recipes.
Mr. Worst was an active contemporary of a number of the Appalachian Craft Revival (late 1800s-early 1900s) weavers mentioned in the book, Weavers of the Southern Highlands (see guild newsletter for September 2011).
Something exciting…..
There may be a new Sheep to Shawl team competing at the Black Sheep Gathering this year! More on that next month…..
