Strathroy Downtown Market in July

Saturday July 22nd we set up the guild shelter at a prime location, the corner of Frank and Front Streets.  A big thank you to the market organizers.  It was a perfect spot as we had people coming at us from both directions.  Many interested visitors stopped to chat and talk to us about the guild and what we do.   
 


Spinning, knitting, rigid heddle and tablet weaving were demonstrated and a display showed examples of solar dyed yarn and yarn dyed with Koolaid and other samples of the work we do.


Display table with weaving, spinning, knitting, 
solar and Koolaid dyeing and felting.

 
Colleen shows a young visitor how to use a 
simple loom made from a cardboard box.


Meg demonstrates tablet weaving on an inkle loom
along with some of the beautiful bands she has made.


We will be at Strathroy Downtown Market again on September 23rd, drop by and say hello!
