On May 26th, a number of us joined Nancy at her Open House / Shearing / Fibre Mania Day.
It was a great day for all, but a bit disappointing in that the turn-out of fibre enthusiasts was not as great as last year.
BUT - WE all had a good time !
Margaret wove this fabulous shawl from the yarn the guild members had spun. The fleece was donated by "Tom Brown" - one of Nancy's wonderful alpacas.
The shawl will be raffled off in September with proceeds going to "Hearth Place" - a support group for cancer survivor/thrivers.
Interestingly - Tom was being sheared that day and the publice could see the shawl and Tom's fleece "in the raw" at the same time.
Yvonne spinning away!
Nancy had put up a canopy for us. Here we are with our wheels and bits and pieces for sale.
Mara, Yvonne, Janice and Margaret. Erin was there as well and Karen and Nancy were in the barn looking after the shearing.
The pictures were taken by Cathy Booth-Smith - a fibre enthusiast and photographer who visited with us for a while
