The best for towels

This is my go-to yarn for handwoven towels. Nice and soft, as advertised. Drapes nicely and hasn't broken or frayed while weaving.

Great Customer Service

I placed my first order with ETC the end of November and my order was shipped the same day. After a week of bouncing around the USPS system it appeared to be lost. When I notified ETC that the order hadn't been delivered and I might need a refund or replacement, they responded promptly and positively. Great Customer Service. I'll order from them again.

Floor loom

Image Testimonial

Thank you so much for encouraging me to dive in and purchase the 46" Oregon Trail floor loom you had on consignment. My husband was right it has been a joy to work with. Please also thank the lady that was there weaving (she said she drops in regularly to do so) she was very excited for me and helped me believe this was the right thing to do. Thank you again, Felicia The wiggle in the first hem line is from a back beam tie up string snapping from old age. That is the 4th towel on the warp and I will be changing all of those out at the end of this warp.

8 Dent Reed and Used Raddle

Image Testimonial

I had help ordering an 8 dent reed over the phone and not only did we pick out the perfect reed, he also found the perfect used raddle in the store to ship me as well. Shipping was super fast and my new equipment got to me safely. Everything was perfect to get my used new-to-me loom up and weaving again. Thanks so much!

Used spinning wheel

I'm soo happy with my "mudd valley" spinning wheel. ETC shipped very well packed and it's wonderful! Thank you!


Used Becka 8 Shaft 48

Beka Floor Loom

I recently purchased a used Beka 36" 8 harness floor loom, and it is marvelous. It is so well-constructed, and easy and comfortable to dress! The swing-down back beam gives you ample access to the rear of the loom, and by removing the front beam (two screws - simple!) and lifting off the beater, you can get within inches of the harnesses, making threading a breeze. I highly recommend this no-nonsense loom for a beginner, or a seasoned weaver. I also recommend downloading the manual that can be found here: www.bekainc.com


Used Country Spinner

bulky spinner

This is probably an Indian Valley Spinner by Tom Ricci -- check if there is a Ricci cast into the large iron wheel. It's a powerhouse of a wheel -- great for rug yarn.


Used Gilmore 4 Shaft 40

40 inch, 4 shaft Gilmore floor loom with bench

I bought one just like this several years ago from ETC. It is a gem. I love it. It's versatile and solid. You can weave fine linens or rugs on this sturdy, dependable loom.


Used Gilmore 4 Shaft 40

4 shaft 40 inch Gilmore

I bought a loom identical to this one about 4 years ago from ETC. I love this loom. It is sturdy and very versatile. I've woven fine pieces (20/2 cotton) as well as a wool rug on this loom with equal success. Highly recommended.


This wheel is identical to a wheel I once owned. The makers were Sid Sharples and Jack Daniels. Sid Sharples also made bulky flyer wheels. Their names and information should be under the main table. Also one of the finials near the wheel hub may be a hidden threading hook.

(ETC: Thank you for the info! We've updated the description)


Image Amazing folks at the center! You guys are the best. I purchased a used loom, was going to have my nephew pick it up, break it down and ship it to me. Instead you broke it down, placed instructions on painters tape, and sent photos and books - gave me my childhood/adulthood desire in a box from Eugene! I was able to put it together the afternoon it arrived with only one dumb question to Suzie.

Suzie, Vickie and the folks at the Eugene Textile Center are amazing!

I really enjoy being at Eugene Textile Center! The people are very friendly and good vibes flow throughout.

Great place to learn about fiber art!
The staff is extremely helpful, friendly and well knowledge about anything and everything regarding textiles.

We ordered new cables for our HD loom as the original leather ones were breaking. The service from ETC was fabulous, both online and over the phone (and the new cables are good too).

there are so many wonderful things at the ETC. The fibers, equipment and best of all, the staff are fabulous. IT is one of my favorite places in Eugene. If they don't have what you are looking for they can get it for you.

The Shimmering Colors workshop with Bobbie Irwin was a great learning experience and fun with friendly classmates. Suzie and the ETC staff distinguish themselves with generous and friendly personalized service and support. Thanks!

Lichen Dyeing Class with Cheshire

Lichen Dyeing Class

This class is a combination of hands-on-learning and a generous overview of lichen biology, identification, and technique to extract an amazing variety of colors from dried up bits. Very knowledgeable teacher, great handouts, and good classroom space. You go home with two scarves you've created yourself, color yarn samples of eight different lichen dyes, and lots of low cost ideas for dyeing at home using lichens.


These are the nicest and most helpful folks. I just purchased a very high quality used loom from them. I highly recommend these very knowledgeable folks. They went beyond the call of duty to make my purchase a pleasant one.

This shop is an amazing find! Suzie and her staff are more than willing to help with anything that you need. From loom selection to reading pattern drafts, ETC gives new meaning to service after the sale!
Kathryn Messer, Keizer, OR

I have purchased items online and also visited the store in person. They carry a great variety of equipment, tools and fibers, but what really sets them apart is fabulous customer service. The folks at Eugene Textile Center provide personalized service and are very knowledgeable. They are friendly and make shopping a pleasure. Eugene Textile Center has exceeded my expectations on several occasions and I highly recommend this company.
