Our roots began in 1977,when a few weavers began meeting in each other's homes to encourage innovation and learning. Member Daphne Malins designed and wove her Okanagan Tartan which she registered with CIPO and as a Scottish Tartan. In 1980 the Guild adopted its current name and the tartan made its first appearance at the annual Arts and Craft Show. For more than 45 years we have been supporting spinners, weavers, knitters, felters and other fibre arts in the beautiful South Okanagan of B.C.

Visit us on Facebook at Desert Sage Spinners & Weavers.
If you are new to weaving or unfamiliar with some terms, the sites Weave Structures and Plain Weave Variations will help.
I like this article on Mixing Twills for its practical learning.

Spring 2016 Spinning Retreat in Osoyoos
The 3rd Annual Spinning Retreat held at the beautiful Walnut Beach Resort in Osoyoos from Apr 1 to Apr 3, 2016 was very popular and very successful. An Open House and Fibre Sale was held on Sat afternoon giving the rest of us and the public a great opportunity to drop in and visit the Spinners and vendors. Here's a look at the fabulous weekend that they all enoyed. (photos by Helene and myself).
