Weaver Resources, Weaving Community, Handweaving Information

Weavolution.com, an online social network designed to meet the unique needs of handweavers, launched its beta test on June 8, 2009. Designed to bring handweavers together from around the world, Weavolution.com is a one-stop resource for every type of hand weaver.

From hobby to production, from peg to dobby, Weavolution provides a place for weavers to meet, discuss and participate in moderated user groups and forums.

Members may post photographs and descriptions of their projects, looms, yarns, books, and accessories to share with others and solicit feedback from other members.

But you don’t have to be a member or even a weaver to explore the site and learn about weaving free of charge.

Weavolution aims to become an inclusive, global community that encourages weavers by enabling them to discover and follow trends in weaving; find local, national and international resources; and find businesses catering to their needs.

Weavolution members can search the site’s databases to view items, group postings and research information catalogued by others.

Our goal is to provide a website for handweavers that is useful, helpful and fun, and to create a resource for shops, products and ideas from around the corner and around the world.

Keeping the "we" in Weavolution

About three months ago, a strange post appeared on Weavolution, SPAM. Fortunately, an active user, Caroline, spotted it and left us a note in the "Report a Bug" forum. We deleted the spam and the user and watched the forums a bit more carefully for a couple days. But, life gets busy and there's lots going on behind the scenes at Weavolution and, a month later, we got spammed again. This time, Laverne, Bolivian warmi, notified us.

The point is, Weavolution is a community and we rely on each other for many things. We post our problems and our successes. Our questions and our solutions and we are here for each other

If you see something that looks like spam or notice a comment that looks strange there are several ways to reach the moderators and managers at Weavolution.

1. Post a comment in the "Report a bug" forum.

2. Click on "Contact" in the red area at the bottom of every page and send an email.

3. Click on "Report abuse" in the red area at the bottom of every page and write an email to the administrator.

4. PM Claudia (that's my user name) and let me know what concerns you have.

Thanks to everyone for helping keep the "we" in Weavolution.

System maintenance

Our hosting company will be performing site maintenance at 3 am Eastern time Sunday morning, February 7.
We may be off line for about 15 minutes. It should not last longer than that and hopefully will not cause too much inconvenience for our users.

Thanks for understanding.

I am Brazilian. In 2004, I´ve attended a course on plain weave. From 2006, I`ve started studying ethnic weaving by myself, based on books I´ve bought and documents found in the internet.

I live in Denmark, and have been a weaver for 10 years. I am in no way professional, but just enjoy making beautiful fabric for myself, family and friends.

Mostly I weave on a big countermarche loom, but occasionally I do inkle and card weaving, too.

I have tried many projects, scarves, shawls, towels, pillowcases, bags, rugs, curtains, ...

My favorite loom is too big for my house, so it "lives" in my summerhouse, and for many years I have only been weaving when on holiday there. Now I do own a smaller loom at home, too.
