2017 Retreat at the Elmhirst Resort

Retreat at Elmhirst Resort
Each September we hold a retreat at the Elmhirst Resort near Keene. Our guild members enjoy spinning and a wonderful social time but our focus for the retreat is dyeing. The Elmhirst gives us the use of the Conservatory where we set up all our equipment and we dye cloth, fleece, yarn, locks; anything that  members wish to bring. This year 11 members stayed for the retreat and we were 21 in all on the last day for our September meeting. At the meeting Chris Muir did a demonstration in dyeing with indigo. Chris and Pauline both had samples of Shibori dyeing and Chris showed us how to make the indigo dye vat.
