Work From Home - Spinning And Weaving | 034

Good Morning: It's a great day because I work at home.

There are many types of weaving that can be used in your home based business. Believe it or not there are many that make money doing this right from their home. The various types of weaving enterprises can blend itself very well into a family oriented enterprise. This is not something new, but has been forgotten like so many other things of our society.

For consideration is rug weaving. If you live in an area that is a tourist attraction this will lend itself very well to developing home based business sales on a local scale. If you have a place that could be opened for tourists they love to watch a loom in operation. Some places actually sell the carpet and rugs right off the loom as soon as it is finished How much more valuable it is to be able to purchase a rug that you actually saw come into being right before your eyes.

Woven hammocks is another item worth consideration. Many are made from woven rope and others are made from woven fabric. A consideration with hammocks is the mildew because they are usually left outside and subject to being ruined by weathering.

Lace is another activity for your home based business and just this one topic is very broad but worth your time to evaluate it. For example, tatting, plastic craft lace, lace teddies, needle lace, bobbin lace. These are all forms of decorative weaving. The variety and combinations seem to have no end.

Think about kids weaving projects. Putting together salable kits might prove to be interesting and profitable and make money for your home based business. There are books available on this topic. If you have children you have a ready made test group which would surely be eager to work with your kits.

Spinning is another type of work that could lend itself to a home based business of weaving. You can actually buy spinning wheels and looms and it’s a fascinating hobby for many people. Think of being able to card your own wool stock and spin it into yarn with your spinning wheel then weave it into material with your own looms. Who knows where this could go for you, you may even wind up manufacturing your own looms and spinning wheels. These are fascinating machines that date back to our colonial history. Some of the families were kept occupied by being able to supply linen and woolen material to their local merchants.
