Excellent weaving tutorial videos and lots of great information about backstrap weaving from the Americas and around the world can be found on Laverne Waddington’s blogsite, backstrapweaving.wordpress.com

I want everyone to support Julie Mullins' great work with Montagnard women. Her business trains and employs women to create contemporary designs for sale. Visit them at Fiberactive Organics in Raleigh, NC.
