Youngstown Area Weaver's Guild & East Ohio Handweaveaver's Guild
Ohio Weavers & Spinners in Mahoning, Trumbull & Columbiana Counties … and over into PA
It is once again time to celebrate Spinning & Weaving week! The Handweavers’ Guild of America is offering some interesting virtual events including sales from some of our favorite vendors.
Spin Weave 2020 has the list of participating vendors and events. Check it out!
This came from Barb & the Canfield Spinning Guild:
You are cordially invited to a De-Stash Event.
WHEN: Sat., Sept. 26, 2020 (Rain or Shine)
WHERE: Fair Park, Canfield, OH
TIME: 9 am – Noon
I don’t know about you, but as I’ve cloistered in my home these past few months, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to de-clutter and de-stash. Can you relate? Maybe you’re new to the game and wish to increase your stash pile(s). We certainly understand. Well, now is your opportunity to venture out for a few hours and either farm out or adopt fiber!
We will be meeting in Fair Park (rain or shine) under the main pavilion. Since Fair Park is a first-come-first have situation, I’ll be there around 7:30 AM to hold our spot. Please bring whatever you wish to sell, swap, or give away. All we ask is that you duly mark your fiber(s)/yarn(s) into said categories. We will be observing social distancing and mask wearing. If you’d like to bring your wheel and spin a bit, please do so. (Knitting and crochet needles and drop spindles are welcome, too.)
If you decide to sit a spell, please bring your own lawn chair, libations, and dress for the weather. I hope to see a great many of you on the 26th. More importantly, I hope you all will take everything I bring because I don’t want it coming back home with me! 😊 Winter is coming and Christmas will be upon us before we know it. Nothing says “love” like a hand-crafted gift. Come on out and let your creative juices flow!!!
The East Ohio Handweavers will meet at Monica’s home in Leetonia on Saturday September 19 at 9 am. E-mail Monica for directions and landmarks to get there. Bring your masks.
Bill will be giving a presentation on working with fabric dyes.
There will also be some planning for the upcoming months. Bring show & tell from the past several months of lock-down…
This came in through the website. If anyone is interested, contact me for the seller’s direct contact information. She requested it not be made public.
Due to Coronavirus and Covid-19, unfortunately I must sell my loom. This has hit my family very hard with loss of life as well as loss of employment, therefore forcing me to consider what I need vs. what I want. I do not need my loom.
If you know of anyone who is interested in purchasing it for a fair price please provide them with my email address. It includes 8 harnesses, two reeds (10 & 12), shuttles, a sley hook and a warping board.
I am unable to attach photos but have them available.
I live near New Castle and could deliver if need be.
I thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
April
We just received notice that the Christmas Marketplace is currently planning to go on. It is November 7 & 8 at the Metroplex in Girard.
Please remember that this is a large, free space for the Guilds. We can sell what we want, but must do demonstrations. It is a great opportunity to attract new members.
So if you still have time on your hands…weave something!
