The next meeting of East Ohio Handweavers will be Saturday May 20 at 9:30 am in the Leetonia Library. The program will be making a braided trivet. If you have the metal braiding tips, bring them but they are not necessary for the project. Other materials will be provided. Any questions, contact Sheila.
The warp painting program is now rescheduled for the June 17 meeting.
The twining program for this coming Wednesday is postponed to another time. Bring anything you would like to work on instead, especially the tapestries.
This opportunity to demo came in via the website…check it out and we can discuss it at the meeting.
“I am the coordinator of the Weavers’ Cabin of Harmony. We are hosting a fleece to shawl demonstration in June 17. It is a demonstration and not actual competion.Â
It is an opportunity for spinners and weaver to try their hand at participating in an event. It can be as rigid or formal that you would like. Last year we had 4H team weaving a scarf, a team with about 10 spinners and another that used it for a bigger competition. We have a judge that will critique your work and the shawls can be sold at a month silent auction if you wish. You can check our website for contact information and more details. “

The next meeting of East Ohio Handweavers is Saturday April 15 at 9:30 am in the Leetonia Library.
The program is Japanese thread wrapped ornaments…be warned they are most addictive to make. Bring a straight edge – metal, wood or firm plastic, scissors, and sock or sport weight yarn. Any fiber of an equivalent size that is slightly soft, not hard like a cordonnet. The ornaments in the photo were all made from solid or variegated threads, no changing colors.
If the room is not booked into the afternoon by another group, anyone interested can stay for the tapestry study group. Bring your supplies and questions.
