History passed by this rustic enclave of spinners, dyers and weavers of yarn. Although connected to the internet, these weavers prefer a more immediate social fabric. Having survived apprenticeships in co-ops where the anxieties of familial separation are collectively resolved in scatological spatterings, the mature weavers spend their days at looms unique to their own desires, only occasionally called away by the needs (rarely the infantile psychoses) of the village. A wonderful community from which to launch a life of independent mind and spirit and to experience the real world possibilities of co-operativism.
