When the Spanish encountered cotton in the new world, they depicted it as a plant with little sheep growing on it—it was as soft and fine as the wool of their Merino sheep. In India, takli and charka spindles have been the perfect tools for spinning the short staple length of the cotton fibers for millennia. As the United States was formed and developed, the textile industry depended on the cultivation of cotton. Today’s spinners choose cotton for many of the same reasons—it can be used to create a lightweight, comfortable cloth that is enduring, useful, and beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving and handspinning are perfect partners—each bringing out the best in the other. Weaving is about structure and grids—perpendicular threads that intersect and overlap. And yet within the seemingly rigid structure of the loom, there are so many choices. Will you use plain weave or one of a myriad of 8-shaft pattern drafts? Will your fabric be weft-faced or warp-faced or balanced? What kind of tie-up will you use? And then there are the yarn choices. Next to the structure of weaving, spinning can seem very organic. The choices handspinners face are nearly endless—you choose your fiber, color, texture, and grist. Do you want a fine, soft cotton or lustrous wool with a touch of silk? Do you want a thick and thin novelty yarn or a fine laceweight yarn? Are you going to keep the natural brown or dye your fiber to reflect the color of the heavens?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWedding the structure of weaving with the organic nature of handspun yarn makes for delightful cloth—a balance of opposites. But learning how to navigate that delicate balance can be a little overwhelming—and that’s why it is nice to have a bit of guidance. Will my handspun singles yarn be strong enough for a warp? What will the energy of the twist do to the hand of my cloth? Should I weave with cotton, silk, or wool?
