About SWA

Together we can grow!

Spinning and weaving have a timeless allure. Making yarn and cloth fulfills a deep human need for engaging; it is creative work that provides our everyday lives with beautiful objects. The handcraft market is expanding, fueled by a new generation of enthusiasts eager to cultivate a passion for spinning and weaving.

At the same time, the women and men of the boomer generation—a vast group—are moving into their years of self-fulfillment with more disposable income than ever before. They are ready to come back to the crafts that they first discovered in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Spinning and Weaving Association recognizes the need for a unifying voice that speaks for all of us who make our livelihood through spinning and weaving.
