Weaving 101

Caroline's picture

To help those who are just starting out, and don't know where to start, or who think their question might sound silly or get lost among the discussions in the other groups.

There is no such thing as a stupid question, only a person who needs information they don't have and knows the right  question to ask!.

I hope experienced weavers, as well as those taking their first steps into this adventure, will stop by and add to the knowledge we can all share.
