About Weavolution
We are (or will be) a social network for handweavers, where people can share projects, see what others are doing, or discuss weaving-related matters (or just hang out) in our discussion forums.
Weavers of all types will be welcome, from basketweavers to those who weave on small peg looms to those who use large, complex table and floor looms.
Weavolution will offer user notebooks to catalog projects, ways to share weaving plans or patterns and find project inspiration, forums to socialize with other weavers, and methods for finding information and resources for weaving.
For more about Weavolution, please visit our About Us Page.
Please support us by donating if you can! (note that we are not a 501(c)3 so donations are not tax-deductible)Thanks, and we hope you'll join us when we launch in spring 2009!

Weavolution launches June 8!
Posted in: General by admin on May 29, 2009
Yes, that’s right…we have a launch date!! And we couldn’t be more excited. The last major functional components have been delivered by the developer, and as soon as we finish polishing up the site, we’ll bring it to http://www.weavolution.com and open up the gates!
Feedback from the alpha testers has been extremely positive, and we already have over 50 projects and 30+ yarns entered into the system by our 80+ alpha testers. We’ve still got a couple of kinks to work out - about 160 open bugs that will need to be fixed next week - and we need to write the help system, but on the whole the site looks great and it’s almost ready for our open beta.
And I’m pleased to say that we already have 19 advertisers! If you would like to advertise on Weavolution, email claudiajane AT weavolution DOT com and she’ll get you all the details. We’ve got ad slots for everyone’s budget - with introductory pricing as low as $20/month. And if you buy six months’ advertising, you get one month FREE! Can’t beat that!
So get ready folks…THE WEAVOLUTION IS COMING!!

Tien, or someone, please switch the home button on the blog page to the weavolution front page, http://www.weavolution.com or otherwise put a big link on the blog page that takes you to the front page. I can’t be the only one who has bookmarked the blog page and it took a bit of fiddling to get there from here.
Congratulations!
Mary
