    I am interested in your online weaving class also. Please let me know when you will be starting another one. I am having trouble with my weft pulling in. Do I have my warps too close together? I am being as loose as possible with my weft. Please help. Thank you. Sincerely, Debbie

    The Navajo rug auction last weekend was a great success. And I also posted about a personal rug mystery and its outcome. Take a look!:

    kathleen higham: I'd like to join with you when it starts again!

    Mary Walker: The Munsell color system was developed to provide a precise numeric description of color based on hue, value or lightness and color purity (referred to by Munsell as chroma). This precision is helpful in mixing dyes to achieve the desired results. There is a Munsell study group on Weavolution.com, but I was too busy teaching right now to join. I hope there will be enough people interested to do another group later this year. If you haven't already joined Weavolution, I'd encourage you to do it. The current study group is called the Munsell+dye study group.

    Emmy: I'm curious now. What is a Munsell group? Thanks Emmy
