Resources for Fiber Artists
Here we will provide you with a list of area and online resources for all things fiber arts. We will continue to add links for fiber art product suppliers, local shops--especially those operated by members of WHI, guilds and associations that promote and pursue education within their memberships, magazines and newsletters, weaving software, looms and equipment, and anything else we can think of that you may find helpful and interesting.
