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

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

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.
Used Norwegian Double Treadle Wheel of Unknown Origin
Spinning wheel makers
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)

Suzie, Vickie and the folks at the Eugene Textile Center are amazing!
The staff is extremely helpful, friendly and well knowledge about anything and everything regarding textiles.
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.
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.
