Looking for a weaving book
I have been wanting to borrow from the library or buy Small looms in Action by Elizabeth Jensen.
I have emailed her and received a reply that it is no longer in print and she can't help me.
I have put a wanted on Gumtree hoping that someone that no longer weaves would be willing to sell their book. It was not an expensive book just interesting for me.
I am after plans for the wee winnie inkle keel loom .
I am going away in March and would love to take a small project with me , as I love to have my crafty things with me at all times.
If anyone reading this blog perhaps would know of anyone with the book or would be willing to sell their book could you please contact me.
The book is called Small looms in Action by Elizabeth Jensen. It is of course an american book.
Ebay does not have it I have been checking for over a year now. My library nor interlibrary loans have it, elizabeth jensen no longer has one to sell, so I just don't know where else to turn.

For Stephanie
Hi Stephanie ,
Here are a couple of youtube links for spinning that I found. You are always welcome to bring your spinning wheel around to my home if you can't get the tension thing right.
ashford tradional spinning wheel how to
how to adjust your brake band for single drive wheels
These links will help you to get started spinning and making sure your wheel will work well for you, also it will lead to many many more video's on spinning.
Here is my spinning on my ashford traveller which is a single drive wheel.
Below is the tension knob
and here is the brake band with the spring going from the tension knob through the eye over the wheel and around to the other eye. I don't have it with much tension at all.
Above is merino wool being spun and below photo is of alpaca fibre.
