July's Program was Great!

Today's program given by Carla was very informative.  We learned the 3 basic methods of warping a rigid heddle loom but focused on the "Hybrid" method using a small warping board.  Using the warping board eliminates the need to walk back and forth for a long warp as in the "one-peg" method.

Carla is demonstrating the "Hybrid" warping method below using her 16" Ashford RH loom and a 4.5-yard Schacht warping board.  (She found having a 2nd set of hands was very helpful!)

 Just a reminder that there is no meeting in the May month as a lot of us were busy at the Birchwood Fiber Festival.  Thanks to all the volunteers who made it another great success.

April 18 SVH Meeting

 

The April 18th meeting will be held at the normal location (Birchwood Community Center - 5623 TN-60, Birchwood, TN 37308).  As we are having a longer program, the formal meeting will start at 10 and be a short one.

R&M Yarns will be open 9:15 to 9:45 for your shopping pleasure and there just might be some new yarns in (4/2 and 8/2)

The program is Basket Weaving which required pre-registering.  Those participating should bring lunch and drinks.

 After a quick business meeting we transitioned to the workshop.  Candee had everything set up for the seven students and got straight into the beginners class for fiber based yarns.  

Every student had multiple skeins and Candee mixed colors to order once we got to the practical part.
