TSWD are a group interested in preserving the crafts of spinning, weaving, dyeing, felting, knitting, crochet and associated crafts.

We meet regularly at the Homestead Building at the Toowoomba Showgrounds on a Thursday and Saturday to do our crafts.

A couple of weeks ago Jan brought in some yarn that she had solar dyed. This week she brought in a shawl made from the dyed yarn. Jan also showed a colourful felted neckpiece. Lorna displayed a felt bag with a flap incorporating hand dyed and hand painted silk.

With Christmas rushing at us, Sonia’s Mrs Gingerbreadman snuggly will be a great present for a lucky child. Crocheted in chenille it feels so nice. Betty has also finished weaving her Weaver’s challenge of Stripes and Diamonds. Betty wove her table runner in cotton.

Betty A. has been weaving up a storm. Here are some of her work she brought along this week for Show & Tell. Table runners in Rep Weave, a white coat that feels so soft and a Ruana woven with an overshot border.

Joy has been doing some Eco Printing and Folded and clamped Ice Dyeing. She was really happy with her gum leaf scarf. Hand Woven wool scarves, then eco printed.

This week we saw a delightful doll’s house bag by Gayle, a crochet bag by Jan and a felt bag by Lorna. The latter was constructed from a flat piece of felt and would be a possible first project for a new felter.

Jan has an amazing set of skills. The shawl shown is made from solar dyed hand spun fleece from her own alpacas. She also made the small bag and the two beanies. Together the projects show knitting, crocheting, dyeing, spinning and the washing and carding of fleece. I didn’t ask if she had shorn the alpacas herself, but suspect she had.

08/10/2026

This week Megan brought in some really cute koala booties. Also Ros has been spinning up some gorgeous yarn made up of Ashford merino hand spun yarn plied with a Bendigo mohair/silk yarn.

07/10/2026

Barbara, a new felter, brought in her felted book cover. Jan showed off two lots of solar dyeing - (the original yarn is shown in the middle) and Lorna displayed a hat made with a bought felt hood displayed with a band she had felted.

03/10/2026

Using leaves collected on a recent trip away plus geranium flowers, Tess eco dyed fabric. She then outlined some of the leaves with a fabric marker. Fabric was then made into a series of gorgeous placemats.
