NOBO Handweavers

Interesting news story about this new fabric that can hear and make sounds.
Story here.
I guess they never heard corduroy “talk”…

Gaby will be at the Riverwalk Bead shop on Saturday and Sunday this coming weekend, 7/21 & 8/1, from noon until 5:00 p.m. where she will be demonstrating Back Strap Weaving, Dyeing and Spinning.

Hi, everyone.
I forgot to mention during our regular meeting last week that this year, during the annual Anniversary Sale at A Loom with a View, all weaving tools and accessories will be included in the sale! The discount is 20%. We’re talking about shuttles, bobbins, pirns, winders, fringe twisters, raddles, warping boards, warping pegs, Wolf strollers, tool trays, etc. The sale applies to in-stock merchandise only and excludes looms and floor stands. Sale runs from Sunday, July 25th through Saturday, the 31st.
Just thought you’d like to know.

Although this won’t be happening for a couple of years or so, we are planning ahead!

Those of you who attended our July meeting are aware that the program centered around tips and tricks pertaining to weaving. It was suggested that we collect these, along with others which may surface from time to time, and assemble them in book form to be made available to the weaving community as part of our fifth anniversary celebration.

With that thought in mind, I am asking each of you send me information concerning non-traditional tools, tricks, and/or methods you have found useful when preparing to weave, during the weaving process, or when finishing the piece. For example, a couple of tips mentioned during our meeting involved the use of binder clips and pipe cleaners.

This request goes out to all of you – even if your handy hint was mentioned during the meeting, please send it to me, along with any others which come to mind.

I will remind you of this periodically – but, please, do start now!

Many thanks.

As mentioned during the July meeting, I would like each of you who have taken part in an “outside” weaving activity since the inception of NOBO to please contact me with the details pertaining to same, so that we can have a documented record of these events.

For example, did you participate in the Rowley Library Exhibit or the one in Haverhill? Or perhaps attend Convergence, and/or participate in the Winter Fuzz Fest in Exeter, or last year’s Fiber Revival at SPL?

If you would, please, furnish me with dates, locations, and pieces involved, where applicable, along with anything else which may be of interest.

The members of NOBO are an active group, and I truly feel it is important to document these activities.

Many thanks.
