Dear fellow weavers,

Would you be willing to pass along the call for entries to a fiber show of handweaving, felting and spinning to your fiber group?

Thanks,
Teena Tuenge, BRFS 2012 coordinator



Napkin Exchange 2013

Calling all weavers who want to trade weaving ideas and samples. For 2013 we will weave napkins again - they should be woven out of 10/2 or finer cotton, should be as close to 16" square - after hemming on all four sides and washing and drying. You will need to weave three napkins to trade (4 is you want one for yourself) and a bunch of 4 to 6 inch square samples - enough for everyone in the group to get a sample sheet. (Number of participants will be announced after people sign up).

Download the information here.
