Pioneer Treadlers at the Parkhill Fair

We accepted an invitation from Parkhill Fair and set up 

a display and demonstration on Saturday, August 12th.

Interested visitors were attracted by demonstrations of willow weaving, knitting, spinning, 

tablet weaving and weaving on a rigid heddle loom as well as on a 4-harness table loom.

Members' work was well represented on the display table with 

weaving, knitting, spinning, dyeing and felting. 

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.
