We use yarntasting interchangeably with swatching. The process is at the center of knit/crocheted/felted/woven fabric design.  The swatch is far more than a sample — it’s actually prototype.  When we swatch we become designers.

This section will be a resource base for developing good fabric designs, ones well-suited to their intended use.  The range of topics to cover extends from fiber production methods to fashion, with a great deal in between.  Please be patient as we get this page set up –it should reward your interest.
