Just one correction: Village Spinning and Weaving is in Solvang, in central Santa Barbara County (about 2.5 hours NW of where I live in NW Los Angeles). Weaver's Cottage is east of Newhall/Valencia/Santa Clarita/Saugus, in eastern Los Angeles County (about 1.5 hours E of where I live). Both are really great places, but the Cottage is in the boondocks on the edge of the desert and is the one that is only open a couple of days a week. The shop is a house, full of funky and wonderful stuff piled everywhere. I have to admit I haven't been to VS&W in many years, although last November they came to two shows in the LA area--the Freeway Lacers' annual lace day and the Handweavers' Guild annual fair, both at the same place, on consecutive days. I keep meaning to get up to Solvang since then, when I saw how much neat stuff he had, for lacemakers and for other fiber nuts like me. Both places have fibers and equipment for spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet, dying, and whatnot. Weaver's Cottage does not have bobbin lace or tatting supplies, but Village Spinning and Weaving does. Robin P.
