Rosemary brought along her handspun yarn that she purchased from Stringtopia |
70% Tussah Silk, 20% fine wool, 10% cashmere. She plied the singles with a fine thread (white you see) |
Rosemary also had this birthday batt |
"Mary Queen of Scots" 95% merino, 3% tussah silk, 1% anglina, 1% sari silk |
We all doodled over this lovely yellow silk/merino blend that Connie was spinning |
It brought the sunshine into the room |
Her prize winning skein |
Practice skeins--boucle' |
Delicious!! |
The Guild House also hosts weavers with warped looms--great place to sit and weave up your pattern. |
Anita was weaving towels for her hall bath. Last month she brought in a photo that she wanted to pick up colors from; warped the loom and now is weaving in plain weave two towels to accent her bath. |
Sharla, a fairly new weaver, was warping this loom to make a shawl |
Other looms warped in the studio was this one set up for towels |
This will be a scarf |
Hanging the draft within eye sight is a good idea |
Color Gamps recently completed and waiting for some handwork |
A walk around the other looms to view their progress |
Weave drafts handy |
And after a morning of work, it is time to share some lunch as we chat. The Guild House is a great space. Check it out sometime. |
