On the List

A new-to-me Bosworth Spindle arrived today crafted with Hawaiian Koa wood.

It was a Ravelry Destash. It is hard for me to say no to fiber tools made with Hawaiian hardwoods.

 

 

 

 

Pictures to Share

Today I received an email from two Guild members requesting pictures.

Hi Lynn,

Are you the person with the cute tiny inkle loom? If so, can you send me a picture of it?

Thanks

Marya

 

Why, yes, I am that person.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi -- I am wondering if any of you have a picture of the Scouts Mountain weaving demo for the newsletter?

 

Cheers,

Wendy-Marie

 

Why, yes, I have a couple.

 

Last Saturday, five of us (four Guild members and one Hubby) demoed at the Scouts' Mountain Man Rendezvous in Santa Margarita. Many of the Scouts - Boys and Girls - wore their 1840's gear and attire.

 

 

 

 

We only had a couple of weeks notice but we managed to coordinate and bring books, lots of fiber, fiber processing tools, spindles, several spinning wheels, a variety of looms, and examples of knitted, woven, and felted textiles, home goods, and clothing.

 

I packed woven mug rugs, spindles, and the 10" Cricket loom warped with handspun.

 

 

 

We explained and/or demonstrated the process of turning raw wool into spinning fiber, then into yarn, then weaving the yarn into textiles and home goods.

 

 

 

 

The Kids, the Adults and all of us had a fun time.
