Kerstin Fro:berg of Bergdala, Sweden has some interesting things on her website. Click on About Weaving for our trip to Norway and the hammer mill used for fulling wool fabric.
Membership benefits include a huge collection of books that may be borrowed (many titles out of print) and a quarterly Bulletin, usually with a real fabric sample. GCW also has a four stage certificate program. Several books have been written as a direct result of doing the program and writing a research paper for the final (Master) level.
Robin Murphy makes interesting rugs, many from "rags". Check out her shawl page, too for some nice - and different - ways to make a statement with a shawl.
