Handwoven, September/October 2009

In this issue, Handwoven celebrates our Thirtieth Anniversary and also gives lots of ways to appreciate your loom today as an ideal investment for a Recession. Weavers will find directions for making luxury fabrics using the best buys in yarns —and learn twenty great ways to use thrums.

Also in this issue: FiberHearts Awards are announced, included the FUZ-E award, which goes to the Boston Weaver's Guild for the Boston Bra project (a Bra-zen idea you'll want to know more about!).
