Desert Sage Spinners and Weavers Guild

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.

I like this article on Mixing Twills for its practical learning.
