When you absolutely fall in love with weaving and there is no going back you will need a Weavers Kit!
Heres what you will need -
1 A basket - to carry all your goodies in !
2 Needles - large blunt needles for coil weaving and some large sharp needles for fibre processing
3 Needle Storage - to safely store your needs in. I suggest also using a magnet to keep them all together.
4 Scissors - you will need a small pair of sharp scissors
5 Ties - you will need something to tie bundles of fibre with, rubber bands or pieces of string
6 Spray bottle - you will need this to moisten your fibres on hot days
7 Bucket - you will need a strong bucket with a handle that can hold boiling water to soak your fibres
8 Fibre Bundle - you will need a way to store and protect your precious fibres, I have made myself a fibre bundle from a piece of fabric with ties to hold all my precious fibres in safely.
9 Large Saucepan - you will need a large saucepan to do dyeing and boiling of fibres in. Its best if its not your general kitchen saucepans.
Tongs - for handling very hot fibres
Whoohoo now that you have gathered all this together you can arrive at your next weaving workshop feeling like a Prepared Pro!
