Spinning and Weaving with Mohair
Mickey Stam
When most people think about mohair, they picture big fuzzy sweaters and looms jammed up with sticky yarn. Over the last three years, Mickey has researched and experimented with mohair to prove that this luxury fiber has a wide range of possibilities for both spinners and weavers, from the softness of a scarf to the durability of upholstery. In addition, she found that mohair's qualities are preserved when it is used only in the weft, making weaving a piece of cake. This presentation is an overview of her findings.
Mickey recently completed the second level of the Handweavers Guild of America's Certificate of Excellence. She has been weaving and spinning for twenty years. Her book "Innovative Weaving" is available on Amazon. All royalties go to WSSA.
