Helpful tip for all the fiber arts!

From Martha

There's lots of ways to play with color. You can do some dyeing if you want but you don't have to. Every thing depends on what kind of time you have and what kind of mess you want to make! Spinners can chop up odd bits of colored yarn and card them in with new wool. There's spinning of roving or sliver of course, for solid colored threads. That's okay if you like the idea the dyer had. You could tho, do a false ply or break lots of different colored roving into short lengths spin it up and ply it with a thread of another color combination. Exciting colors, not mud! Ooh! and you could make the entire piece from spinning to knitting or spinning to weaving or crocheting or hooking and then dye the finished product for related shades and tones. The sky is the limit right? Right! ( Oh yes, we can wear rose colored glasses too.)

From Pam

When planning your weaving project make sure you know how many heddles you have on each harness of your loom. It is much easier to count heddles before your project that to try to put on extra heddles after you have started threading!
