It is available on my etsy site,
It comes wit 3 yards of colorful warp.
You may choose silk or cotton.

Several different color-ways are available.
You can have fun weaving up tapes for all sorts of uses. Great for kids and easy to learn the basics of how to make fabric. Also great for teaching hands- on history lessons.
