A compilation of WeaveTech mailing list digests (Topica issues 528 to 564) covering December 2000. The messages are informal discussions among hand weavers, including handloom weaving in an industrial context, books such as the Goerner draft books and Keasbey's Designing with Blocks, and looms and equipment (Louet Megado, AVL, Jim Ahrens looms, linen testers, a tiny powerloom). Long threads cover marketing and advertising handwoven goods, postcards, craft shows and digital cameras, along with announcements of Andean textile tours and workshops with Ed Franquemont, an exhibition on women textile designers, and an obituary for loom builder Jim Ahrens.
