Archive of the WeaveTech mailing list messages for January 1999, compiled as a digest of email posts with headers. Threads cover chenille yarn and its worming problem, using summer and winter as a thick-and-thin structure, fly shuttles and multi-box shuttle systems, shuttle and race lubrication, AVL and Compudobby loom control software, computer-driven looms, Y2K concerns, Elizabeth Wayland Barber's lectures and books, adjustable loom benches, dukagang definitions, and a napkin exchange. No weaving drafts are present, though a GIF of a draft (Speck's Snailtrail) is mentioned.
