The Fiber Project Display Board is completed and will be displayed at the Mid-State Fair tomorrow.
At the same time two teams from the Guild will compete with each other in a Sheep to Shawl competition.
They will start with clean (scoured) fleece → prep the fiber with hand cards → spin singles on spinning wheels → spin a 2-Ply yarn → transfer the yarn to weaving bobbins → weave a shawl on a pre-warped 4-shaft loom. At the end of four hours the woven item will be judged. Yeehaw, good luck everyone.
