free resources for weavers and fiber artists

The On-Line Digital Archive of Documents on Weaving and Related Topics is hosted by the University of Arizona. It's kind of tucked away there and not easy to find, so it's a good link to bookmark.

The resources are in PDF format and primarily public domain. That means they are older publications and documents, but they contain a wealth of information not only on weaving but also basketry, lace making, etc. It hasn't been updated in awhile, but happily it's still available to the permies.

I'm going to download it for when I start my textiles BB. Thanks!

I love the free resources! That's my next stop. The SKIP bb's taught me how to make the hand spinner, or drop spindle, Opalyn demonstrates in this trailer. However, I am just lazy enough to want the more automated one here. I'm going to figure out how to make that swinging carder, picker, too!
