spinning California wheels yarns books and other trade in the bright related paraphernalia room Elsewhere in the house Kathy has three other looms- -a 24 inch one a 26 inch one and a 40 inch one A patient temperament must be essential for spinning and weaving for they are indeed complex and arts Hand prepared wool must first be washed carded and dyed before it is spun After it is spun Kathy puts in on the warped loom The warp is carefully planned for width and length of fabric Kathy must determine how many threads will be in each inch and how many yards for each warp The next step is
