The Methow Valley Spinners & Weavers guild, founded in 1972, aims to encourage those wishing to improve their skills in the areas of spinning and weaving by providing opportunities to learn together and share with one another. We meet weekly between Twisp and Winthrop in the beautiful Methow Valley. There are currently over 30 members, providing a wonderful variety of skills and experiences to share. Spinners and weavers of all levels are welcome.

If you have an interest in spinning or weaving and would like to learn more about the guild, please feel free to contact us, or check the calendar and drop in on one of our weekly meetings.

Even if you are not interested in learning to spin or weave yourself, but would still like an opportunity to see the work done by the guild, please join us for our annual show and sale held each November.

After a year of a challenge involving a weave structure, it seems a change to a challenge of a totally different sort would be a good thing, so here it is.

Each weaver will be given six skeins of yarn, three brown and three green. This yarn is cotton, about 1550 yards per pound, so the six skeins equal about 960 yards. This yarn may be woven into anything the weaver chooses and may be combined with any other yarns. Manipulation of the yarn color is fair.

There are TWO rules:
1. The end product must be woven
2. At least 25% of the end product must be the yarn provided.

Please keep records, provide everyone with a proper record sheet and, if possible, a sample OR color photo of the finished product. There is more yarn available if needed and extra skeins may be returned if they are unopened.

As usual, these will make a good display for the county fair and will be fun to invent and weave
