Weaving Indiana is a weaving guild devoted to learning and sharing knowledge about the art and craft of handweaving. We have monthly meetings, yearly workshops and guild projects to encourage all members to excel in their chosen craft. We welcome anyone to our meetings, especially the ones coming up. Contact us if you would like to join a meeting via Zoom.
June 21, 2025: Field Trip to Our Heritage Alpaca Farm
10 a.m. - noon
​

Meet member Beth Sheets at her Heritage Farm Alpacas and Events for a special field trip on June 21. Guild members will meet her beautiful Suri alpacas, along with the friendly Kune Kune pigs, goats, Juno and Ruby, her friendly dogs, and barn cats. 

We’ll explore historic 1911 English threshing barn and mid-1800s log cabin and newly renovated log home, a beautifully preserved part of our farm’s rich history.  We will also get an inside look at the fascinating journey from fleece to fiber, with discussions on sorting, washing and processing luxurious suri alpaca fiber for spinning and weaving.

The visit will conclude with a stop at our farm store, where we can browse an array of alpaca yarns, roving and handcrafted fiber products.
 

Carpool will leave Hoosier Village. Meet in the parking lot at 9 am.
