Louet Looms, Weaving, spinning wheels, yarns and wool to Canada & USA

Books

If you live in Canada, you can avoid paying handling fees and duty surcharge on all U.S. published books by ordering through Jane Stafford Textiles. Many books published by Interweave Press, Unicorn Books and Shuttlecraft Books are in stock. Other books and back issues of magazines are readily available. Special orders and out of stock books generally take three weeks to deliver. Here are some of my favourites:
