NOBO Handweavers

John Nove has recently donated several books on natural dyeing to our library. The books have been catalogued, shelved, and, thanks to Dave, added to our web site under the heading “Natural Dyeing.” Lots of good info. Check it out.

I recently came into a few cones of rayon chenille yarns [*cough*kathie's fault*cough*] that I’d like to use to make a scarf. I’ve heard it can be tricky to use. One thing I read said that it’s best to use a plain weave to prevent worming, etc.

Do you have any tips or pointers you’d like to share?

If I end up with the plain weave, I’d most likely use the Wolf Pup, and a 12 dent reed is what I’m thinking. Is one type of shuttle better than another?
