SKAGIT VALLEY WEAVERS' GUILD

UPCOMING PROGRAMS

                                                 

APRIL 5, 2025

Cally Booker will be presenting a program on The Two Faces of Twill.

A double-faced twill is a twill woven with two wefts on a single warp layer, where the lifts are carefully chosen so that the two weft picks can slide right over each other. It offers colorful, pattern-making potential for the weaver at every level and with any number of shafts from 4 to 40.

In this one-hour talk Cally will introduce the principles of double-faced twill and its application to straight, block and point threadings, with lots of colorful examples.

This is what we have been waiting for!  Start sorting through your stash now and find those yarns and pieces of equipment that you are most likely not ever going to actually use and we can sell them at our Auction.  Questions? Kim McKinnon will give you the answers.

Annie MacHale
Inkle Weaving

Annie will be presenting a program on inkle weaving.
"For over 45 years I have been weaving on inkle looms. This type of loom makes narrow pieces, no more than 6” in width. Within this narrow constraint, there are endless possibilities for combining colors into patterns.
When I create a woven piece, I want it to be both functional and beautiful. I have created many types of useful everyday items including: shoelaces, scarves, belts, bags, clothing trim, dog leashes, straps for cameras, guitars and other instruments, and many costume pieces."

After our program, we will move into election of officers, a business meeting, and discussion of fun summer events.

 We will have our guild challenge presentation where the items you have been working on using the colors of the ANWG convention will be shared, as well as any other Show and Tell from throughout this year.
