Weaving is a new, moderate-traffic mailing list for people interested in the arts of weaving, spinning and dyeing fabrics, yarn and fleece. Topics discussed include the many types of looms, their specifications, good and bad points, and tips for upkeep; different methods of weaving; mail order and other sources for supplies; weaving software, magazines and books; workshops and festivals; sheep shearing; the pros and cons of different types of natural and synthetic dyes, and making dye from plant materials. Other acceptable subjects include just about anything of interest to weavers, as long as it is connected to weaving in some way (for example, cats and cat hair, perhaps even cat hair as a weaving material).
