New
projects: There is a rainbow of new Möbius shawls and scarves,
traditional rayon chenille scarves, and other
clothing, and a studio full of Shaggy Chic rugs and
colorful cotton rugs made from SolMate Socks.
The
studio include a "loom room", with six looms set up
for towels, rugs, and fabric. There is a display of
glass pieces by B Skinner and a gallery of paintings
by artist Douglas Runyan. We are open 11 to 5
most days. Please call
