This community is for all textiles/needlecrafts! However, it has a particular emphasis on:

Projects that incorporate multiple crafts (knitting/weaving/etc) in the same work.
People who do more than one kind of textile.
Questions/discussions that transcend any one specific craft.
Rare forms of textiles (nalbinding/kumihimo/etc) with too small a web presence to flourish in their own dedicated forum.

Check in on your local guilds/societies etc! They do cool stuff, here's an example near me. (www.lostartlacers.org)

Chances are, there's a chapter near you of some group dedicated to a specific niche textile. Many of these arts are a little neglected these days, so groups dedicated to them are usually really happy to get new members. Plus, they'll usually have something cool like "Guild" or "Society" in the name, which just feels neat to be a part of lol. This group linked here is having a Lace Weekend on 11/2-11/4, with lots of different crafts present. If I make it out there I'll report back, with pics.

At some point, we should probably add a page to the wiki linking to all the official needlecraft Guilds and Societies out there. Or at least all of them that we can find, they can be pretty obscure!
