"Weaving, it's part of the culture. If you're a troubled person, if you sit down to your weaving, your bad feeling all goes away and the good one comes in. Then you start thinking about your pattern, and when you have a real fine and very good wool to work with, it really builds up your design. The pattern comes to you naturally." -- Sarah Natani, weaver and spinner |
