Tri-loom weaving evening

Kim's hands working

We met on March 28th at the usual place, usual time.


Those of us from Cobourg had to do a little creative driving to get there, since our usual route (Hwy. 2) was still closed off because of the train that had derailed just east of Port Hope.


We discussed our participation in the Gathering and then our spa / spin day at Kerry's on the 10th of April.


Nancy invited us to participate at her "Fibre Mania" day (May 28th - shearing day at Spinning Wheel Alpacas). We will spin Nancy's alpaca and Margaret will knit the yarn into a shawl to be raffled off for charity.


Then Nancy passed around triangular looms, yarn and instructions for our weaving workshop.

Some of us had done it before, others not - but we all had a fun time trying to figure out how to make these little triangles on these little looms.

Kind of look like a bunch of bikini bottoms, don't they?
