June Person Handwoven Designs
Located in East Wenatchee, Washington, I've been a dealer for Schacht and Ashford equipment and supplies since 1988. I have some supplies on hand but do have to order the looms, wheels, etc. I am a weaver and a spinner; found it was difficult to find supplies, etc here in North Central Washington so became a dealer to help others too. I work solely out of my home but if anyone wants to try out equipment they are welcome to come and do so. You may call or email. Handweavers

The
Oregon Wood Worker
Leaders in providing Handcrafted Yarn Swifts to meet the needs of weavers, yarn dyers, spinners, knitters and yarn handlers. We are the original designers of the Table Top Swift. The Mama Bear and Papa Bear models are easily assembled, in 4-5 seconds, come with their own bag for later storage, do not require clamping and are so easy to use. They easily create skeins and also swift into pull string balls. They also serve as warping boards. Our latest model, the Swift N Count, measures any size yarn length while swifting and creating skeins. It is the only swift in the world that performs these functions. All our swifts are handcrafted of native beautiful solid hardwoods and finished smooth with a clear finish. All our swifts operate on any flat surface or they can also be vertically mounted. You will really enjoy using the Mama Bear and the Papa Bear models. Visit our website at: www.TheOregonWoodworker.net or www.YarnSwifts.com. Please forward your questions to: Email. Thanks
