    garner@kingston.net, Bethany Garner… please let me know how I can work with you to add several books to my weavers/textile library. I am in Kingston ON, and a member of the Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners Guild. Working primarily with rugs, but a newer weaver and keen to learn all I can. Thanks so much.
