AVL Looms.  www.avlusa.com.  Looms, weaving accessories, design software.
The name says it all: AVL has become the best-known name for computerized looms (their Little Weaver is not only an excellent loom, it’s cute as a button! And just the right size to cart around to workshops.) AVL endfeed shuttles are a favorite, and their WeavePoint software makes designing and keeping track of designs/notes/patterns an absolute breeze – and fun as well. How nice to have software that gives you heddle counts and size and location of floats that would otherwise spoil a pattern!

Their diverse selection of textiles is woven of locally-raised materials using traditional materials, methods and motifs. Above the Fray passionately supports the artisans and their traditional skills and diverse cultures, and is eager to share their knowledge, pictures, and stories as well as the incredible woven art of these peoples.
