Weaving is a lifestyle

Your life is important and what you put around you and in your body matters a great deal.
Todays fibers of polyester ,Dacron, nylon were all developed after the Second World War . Scientist developed these to improve our lives and make for better defenses. “Nylon won the war” was a slogan from back then . Parachutes ,nylon stockings, newer fabrics. 
My argument is still , these have helped mankind but let us not throw out the old technology, mainly natural fibers.
We still sweat and shiver from the cold so you can not replace the wool and silk that mankind so cleverly has used for centuries.
So weaving as a lifestyle ,yes, bring these natural fibers into your home again and rediscover a better home without the chemicals, formaldehyde and polyesters that small little fibers are washed into our oceans Tyou can find natural fibers at my website www.mainevillageweaver.com
