Ottawa Valley Weavers' and Spinners' Guild We love all things fibre! The Ottawa Valley Weavers’ and Spinners’ Guild was created in 1949 by a handful of Ottawa area weavers.

Originally called the Ottawa Valley Weaver’s Guild, the group eventually expanded to include spinners and today has over 200 members. The objectives of the Guild are to promote interest and education in weaving, spinning and related fibre arts and to encourage a high standard of craftsmanship and design.Since 1980, we have had an annual Exhibition and Sale at the Glebe Community Centre in Ottawa. In early November, the Centre is transformed into a textile gallery and boutique where we sell wearable woven, knitted and felted pieces, household goods, hand spun yarns, supplies for spinners and weavers, and textile art. The Exhibition and Sale helps to promote and showcase the work of the guild’s many talented members.

Joanne Howard of WindWeft started raising Angora goats about 8 years ago and added Shetland sheep shortly after. She loves working with and spending time with her animals. Each one has a name and a unique personality. They produce beautiful mohair and wool, which she loves to share with fibre arts and crafts enthusiasts.

At the WindWeft booth you can find washed and raw fleeces of Shetland wool and mohair, naturally coloured and dyed locks, roving, batts, and yarn. Come check them out at our Annual Sale & Exhibition at the Glebe Community Centre on November 7 & 8.

A few years ago Paula Smith of Strapped for Cash bought herself an inkle loom for Mothers Day. Since then she has been happily weaving bands and straps from 3 mm (¼”) to 50 mm (2”) wide. These narrow goods, some plain, some fancy, have been made into shoelaces, bag straps, key fobs, and guitar straps, among other things. Paula loves upcycling thrifted fabric into tote bags and then weaving handles to match.

Come see more of what Strapped for Cash has to offer at our Annual Sale and Exhibition on November 7 & 8 at the Glebe Community Centre.
