Mid Island Weavers and Spinners (and other fibre enthusiasts) Guild
This is the Mid Island Weavers and Spinners (and other fibre enthusiasts) blog page. The group meets the first Wednesday of the month during the fall/winter/spring (September through to June). Meetings are now being held at the library downtown on Commercial St upstairs in their meeting room. Guests are welcome to come...bring your knitting, spinning wheel or other fibre addictions. Meetings usually consist of 5 minutes of business, show and tell (bring something), tea and cookies, and some sort of workshop, seminar or talk where you will learn something fibry and interesting.

Lots of things for sale
As I am unable to spin or weave any longer I have a wide variety of things for
sale: weaving yarns, yarns that I used for making art yarn. I also have some
spinning fibres and a whole lot of dyes. I have a warping mill by LeClerc, odds
and ends of shuttles including 2 wooden Schacht boat shuttles and bobbins. I
also have a bunch of handwoven etc magazines and books on spinning, weaving and
knitting. And I’m sure I’ve forgotten something I haven’t yet found. I am open
to any reasonable offer, if interested in any or all please give me a call at
250-248-0678 or email me at sueze@shaw.ca
