Liz Gipson

Smitten by small looms and big plans, Liz finds great joy in helping new weavers hone their skills. She hosts Yarnworker.com, a popular site for weaving know-how. Liz divides her time between weaving, writing about weaving, and teaching others to weave. With an educational background in wool science, fiber arts, and community development, yarncraft has occupied much of her life. Writing "Weaving Made Easy", a foundational book for new rigid heddle weavers, was one of the happiest and most challenging parts of her fiber life. Anything is easy if you know how to do it, but giving folks the foundation to help them find the easy, is thrilling. Her follow up book, "Handwoven Home" focuses on next steps in weaving for the purpose weaving is best suited for—creating cloth for the home. It is written for the weaver that has a few projects under their belts and wants to tackle the creative challenge of weaving for their home.
