tablet weaving

[gianetta]

Found tablet weaving book I bought ~8 years ago.  I'm pretty sure I have my old cardboard tablets from the class I took.  Anyone out there know what a beginner should use for string?  I'd like to use something of natural fiber, but am not overly picky about content for practice purposes.  I'll probably dig out some old string and try to use that

Crochet cotton is cheap and easy to learn tablet weaving with. Excellent for practice. Wool can be sticky, linen has less give, silk is a dream but can pill some.

Awesome - I have some pretty crochet cotton in a blue that could pass (at 10 feet or so) for indigo dyed in my stash - thanks!

I'll put it in my bag o' stuff to take down to C'ville. Along with the books for Adam.

Woohoo! Thank you!!! I'm going to buy wool roving at the fiber festival, I think. I promise to keep it far away from you.

Sounds like a plan.
