We are looking for someone who is willing to work Saturdays, has a love of fiber (but doesn't need to be an expert!), can use a computer and answer the phone.

Something most weavers can agree on (and spinners too!) is that you can never have too many bobbins. One alternative to weaving bobbins are paper quills. These handy little bits of paper are easy to make in a pinch. Beyond saving plastic use, quills can be handy for when you are in the middle of a project and need more bobbins before they arrive from your favorite weaving store...

We haven't always had standardized 4" plastic bobbins to buy by the dozen. Weavers of days past relied on cleaned up goose quills for winding up their yarn. If you have a handy supply of large goose flight feathers, read no further, you're all set! For the rest of us, we can make our own quills out of scrap paper. If you find some old quills, you can carefully unwind them to find old magazine and newspapers from the weaver who originally wound them.

There is something satisfying about making something useful out of junk you were probably going to toss.
