Intro to Tapestry Weaving Workshop...

Freshly dyed sheep run in view of the highway near Bathgate, Scotland. This sheep farmer has been dying his sheep with non-toxic dye since 2007 to make people smile. It worked for me.

I am selling my loom and accessories! Everything you need to get started as a hobby or production weaver in a package. See the pictures for what is included. ...The loom comes with 5 boat shuttles, 16 bobbins, extra warping rod, 4 lease sticks, 3 carbon steel reeds size 10, 12 and 15 Dents per inch, Canadian hard maple loom bench, bobbin winder and 2 boxes of yarns; cotton, wool, etc. The two books are the "New Key to Weaving" and "A Handweavers Pattern Book".
