W ow ! You know your craft has hit the big time w hen The N ew York Times does a feature article on it! Spinning is now touted as the new "Zen" of the world. Mahatma Ghandi knew that decades ago. Just 5 years ago they were touting knitting on that same pedestal of honor. It wasn't too many years ago when I walked into a gym and saw "spinning classes". I thought then that spinning had finally made it into the common genre, only to learn they were "spinning" on stationary bicycles. Another indicator of spinning's popularity is when our Beginning/Intermediate Spinning 3-day workshop fills so full I have to add another class to the schedule and the second one becomes even more full than the first! Part of this increase in spinning interest, I believe, comes from knitters wanting to make their own yarn. Our Designer Yarns class is perfect for this! This has sure been an interesting year in changing weather patterns, record numbers of hurricanes, warm winter, early tornadoes, more fires. Some of our dear weaving and spinning HILLCREEK Fiber Studio friends lost their wheels and looms to Katrina. Hillcreek Yarn for weaving, spinning, and dyeing Shoppe, and associated knit groups, have been knitting away supplies for relief causes.

  • Yarns for Weaving: a Guide for Shops
    Yarns for Weaving: A Guide for Shops Beautiful fabrics can be woven from most of the yarns in your shop. We offer a few guidelines when thinking about yarn for weaving. Knitting vs. Weaving Yarns Yarns designed for knitting have more stretch than yarns created specifically for weaving. Because of this, finished fabrics may have more “bounce” on the loom and not full in the same way that a weaving yarn might. The Wonders of Wool We love wool yarns for weaving because they full or blossom during the washing process. Be aware that superwash wools have been engineered to not full or felt during washing. They don’t produce the hand that we like to see in a woven fabric. We suggest that you keep in stock an affordable wool yarn, such as Brown Sheep’s Nature Spun in sizes that fit our range of reeds (a general rule of thumb: 5=bulky; 8=worsted; 10=sport; 12=fingering). Acrylic Knitting Yarns Because they stretch a lot under tension, we don’t recommend acrylic knitting yarns for warp. If you must, the weft is okay, but an acrylic yarn will not bloom during the finishing process and may leave you with either an overly limp or overly stiff fabric. Novelties Novelty yarns combined with a simple plied yarn can produce smashing results. If possible, sley the novelty yarn in the slots where it has more room to move. Running a length of yarn up and down in a slot (or a hole) is one way to gauge if it will move freely in that reed.
