Guild Announcements

 

Guild Announcements:

The website has been redesigned to make it easier to view on phones and tablets.

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.


Posts are published by event date so look for them by visiting the Archives to the right or Older Posts after the last displayed post. To return to our Home page at any time, just CLICK HERE. Enjoy and thank you for visiting!

Barb H. adds some useful information:
I was sorting out my stash and needed to identify some yarns that had labels but no yarn content. I found the following sites that I might be useful to pass along.

Vintage Catalogue of KnittingYarns - very helpful if the label does not give yarn content -  
Yarn Content of Discontinued Yarns 
This link does weight and skein conversions. I'm sure there others but this is the one I found.
