Ashford Book of Carding Handspinner Guide to Fibre Prep

zoom

Hi, Welcome to Traditions Fiber Arts & Antiques auctions and store.

My Ashford products are all new in the box or package, unless specified otherwise.

I am an avid spinner and love exploring different fibers, mixing fibers, spinning novelty yarns and experimenting with natural and other dyes and dying methods.

I have woven on a floor loom, inkle loom, knitters loom, and tri-loom. I also have a hand made cedar Navajo loom.

I presently do not carry a huge inventory of weaving supplies and all of the larger items will be drop shipped from the wholesaler immediately after payment. There may be a week delay in shipping some small items, so check with me if time is of the essence.
