At the Norwood Fair

Members of our guild did demonstrations at the Norwood Fair. The fair is always well attended and our members were there to demonstrate spinning and weaving. On Sunday the spinners were there to show their skills and to answer questions. On Monday Heather did a weaving display and demo with a table top loom. And of course there were prizes to be won at the fair.

Spin In 2017

Spin In was once again a successful event for our guild. The day was a busy one starting with the arrival of our vendors. They brought a whole treasure trove of roving, raw fibre, yarn, dyed locks and all other materials to satisfy anyones spinning needs. As people arrived everyone set up their wheels and began shopping through the vendors. People chatted greeting old friends and making new ones. Diane had the tea and coffe ready and there were many treats and snacks to enjoy. As the day progressed we announced all of our prize winners which included gift certificates from each vendor and over 16 specially prepared baskets. For lunch many purchased tickets for lamb burgers or sausages by Karen and her family helpers. The day continued with spinning, visiting and more shopping. A wonderful fibre day was had by all.
