Not everything in your weaving studio needs to come from a weaving or yarn store. Here is a list of items in my studio from the hardware store:
I am new to eight shafts and am wondering how to do tabby (plain weave) on an 8-shaft loom?
I have found that different measuring tools help in different ways to improve my weaving speed and process.
I am thinking this is the very project that the person was weaving who asked about “smiles" in a previous "Ask Madelyn" post.
What causes a project to "smile?"
What size cottons work best for overshot? Can you use a 3/2 cotton pattern pick with a 10/2 cotton base? Madelyn has all the answers!
I'm buying a new loom and choosing a reed with more dents. I'm trying to decide between a 10-dent and 12-dent. Which size should I get first?

A weaving friend of mine just came back from a workshop where she said the hardest part was weaving to square. What is that, and why is it important?
