January 2020 Meeting

We had a great New Year start in 2020. Our January meeting was so much fun and a great learning experience. Thank you Nancy Tepas for the concept for Pass the Batt. We also celebrated our guilds 10 year anniversary with a delicious cake. I can't wait to see what creative ideas everyone has for our very interesting yarn.

Pass the Batt

Roc Day: Sunday, January 12 

Perhaps something once looked good to you, now you realize you will probably never use it as hoped. You will need to bring 2 oz. of prepared, easily spun wool or wool blend, in a color way of your choice, to pass.

Start spinning with your fiber, after a few minutes, we will all pass that fiber to the next person, and so on. As a challenge we will suggest trying different ways to spin it, thick, thin, etc. There is the possibility of getting some very colorful yarn. To pull things together, you may decide to spin a single prior to the program to ply your program yarn with. Neutrals were suggested, and you may also want to incorporate this fiber into the program yarn.  Drum carder and combs will be available. 

We will offer small project suggestions for what to do with the final yarn.
