✨Creative vibes were strong today at the NWHS Guild✨

Monthly Spin‑ins and Workshops are a wonderful way for members to learn new skills, share ideas, and explore the fibre arts together. Today’s session included a drop‑spindle lesson, hands‑on carding, and plenty of time at the spinning wheels turning beautiful fibre into yarn.

The room was full of busy hands, soft wool, laughter, and that special kind of inspiration that comes from creating alongside others.

🧶 Another productive and joy‑filled day at the Guild! �Looking forward to the next spin‑in, February 28!

✨ Week 3 of The Wandering Weaver is live! Dive into the latest chapter of the rigid heddle loom journey:

I’d rather not admit how long it took me to learn to dress my Jack loom properly. Let’s just say I made every beginner’s mistake. I tied on under the back beam, snapped warp threads while beaming, and watched my lease st...
