Weaving With Handspun Yarn
A Presentation by Sue Parker Bassett and Kathy Sheehy
Handspun yarns give a personalized statement to a woven piece, a sharing of the maker’s skill and vision for its use. Kathy Sheehy and Sue Parker Bassett have been creating handspun yarns for over 50 years collectively. They will present ideas for working with handspun yarns in your weaving projects and show some of their finished items for inspiration.
This is not a “how to spin” program. Even non-spinners can find ways to add these yarns to their weaving work.
Please bring any items you have made using handspun yarns for show and tell.
The new Network Drafting study group will meet after the general meeting. Bring a sack lunch and any information you have about Network Drafting. We will learn what it is and give ourselves projects to try it out. Anyone is welcome (8 or more harnesses needed to actually do the weaving, though weaving software will let you experiment on as many harnesses as you like!) |
