All you need to spin your dreams
On the weekend of the 22nd February, Alet Tienport hosted some classes for double heddle weaving on the Dynamic Heddle Loom as taught by Patty Poot and Suzy Brown. There were some amazing pieces created by the students. These photos of weaving by Annick Keters […]
The next Majacraft ad for PLY magazine again features artists and work from all around the world. One person I contacted to use their images was Bren Boone who was very gracious in letting me use this beautiful picture of her spinning. Because the final […]
With great pleasure (and a little bit of pride!) I am delighted to announce the new Overdrive Head by Majacraft. This has been a collaborative project between Suzy Brown (Woolwench) and Majacraft over the last year and we have finally been able to finish it off. […]
When the Overdrive head was in a prototype stage, we asked the best spinner we know – Pat Old – to test it and offer some feedback. This is her review of the prototype that was running on a Rose. Mega test of the […]
Next week its happening! Finally!
After much work over the last year and a bunch of teases through the blog, I am ready to show you the next big thing we have been working on.
And it what I think is a first in our little corner of the craft world, the plan is to do it live over the internet where you can watch and take part too.
Woolwench (Suzy Brown) has been a major collaborator in the creation of this so we are going to run the live stream through the Fibery Goodness web site. The stream link is shown on the flyer down below.
I am really excited about what we have created and I think it is going to change the way people can work in the area it relates to (sorry I am still trying to be vague until the big day). The point is we can’t wait to share it with you!
See you there on the Internet!

I really enjoy sharing what people have been creating on their Dynamic Heddle Looms and this piece has been created by the lovely Donyale Grant (www.moggyandme.com).
She has been moving the reed segments about and actually sliding them out of the heddle and rotating them during the weaving process to create this interesting effect. Cool huh?
Until next time
