The sites below are all really great information places or resources for Fibre Arts. At the bottom are yarn suppliers for weaving.
The Threshing Barn
They took over the business of P and M Woolcraft after retirement, so have a huge range of equipment and supplies.
thethreshingbarn.com
Weft Blown
Weft Blown are another great supplier of equipment and supplies.
www.weftblown.com
Spindizzy
This lady has alsorts, including lots of fibre people and resources to take a look at.

The Loom Exchange
For second hand looms and wheels. I see some stuff on ebay and my flesh crawls. If it looks too cheap, it is too cheap. If the seller uses unfamiliar terminology, it means they don't know what they are talking about and the loom or wheel may not meet your needs.
www.theloomexchange.co.uk
World of Wool
For supplies of dyed wool etc. They stock colours of fleece other than merino. The shop is a treasure trove! They also have great 'bins' to rootle in and get some stash.

Wingham Wool
Again, supplies of dyed wool. The sheds are amazing, and they sell ashford and kromski equipment, plus all the little bits and pieces. I have family nearby, so a great excuse for a visit!
www.winghamwoolwork.co.uk
Facebook
The Weavers and Spinners groups on facebook are wonderful. There is amazing information from people who weave or spin and have experience. Worth being on the beast for the groups alone perhaps?
The Online Guild of Spinners Weavers Dyers
If you can't get to a meeting with a guild, then the online can fill the gap. Very reasonable subscription rates, very knowledgeable members and many friends!
www.onlineguildwsd.org.uk
Helen Melvin
For supplies of natural dyes (and all round awesomeness), Helen is a font of information. Her natural dye books are truly amazing.
www.fieryfelts.co.uk
DT Crafts
Again for natural dye supplies.
www.dtcrafts.co.uk
Ravelry
I love ravelry if I have time to have a good look round. I am in some wonderful groups and if you manage to buy a second hand wheel from one of the spinning groups, you can be fairly sure it will be a good one.
www.ravelry.com
Jenny Dean
Her book, Wild Colour, is my bible for natural dyes. For more information take a look at
www.jennydean.co.uk

This is an American magazine, published four times a year. The amazing Jacey Boggs Faulkner is behind it. Each magazine concentrates on a theme, giving brilliant detail.
