The new SWI Study Group begins March 28th.
Take out your wheels and dust them off and get ready to have a wonderful time spinning again. The purpose of this study group is to expand your spinning skills. Many spinners spin a single size of yarn for years and never vary. This group is to give practice on spinning with a specific project in mind (yarn size and yardage needed) – or SPINNING WITH INTENT. We will be spinning bulky yarn to begin. The project is a simple headband that will be knit upon completion of the spinning. Knitting the project will be a judge of how well we did on guage and yardage as well as yarn consistency.
Come to the guild on March 28 at 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Bring your spinning wheel and some fiber (or some will be available for purchase at cost). We will be getting to know each other and making sure that everyone is ready to get started. The first project will begin the second Saturday in April (11th). SWI will meet the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month at the guild. Of course there are always scheduling conflicts and right from the start things are having to be moved. On April 25th we will meet at the RICHLAND LIBRARY conference room at 9:30 – 1:30 – different location AND time. In May when there are too many conficts (Fiber with a Twist, long weekend, etc) it will be the 3rd and 5th Saturdays. May 16th and 30th – 9-1:00 at the guild. June is looking like it will be back on schedule for the 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
