Tips and tricks for zero waste and thriftiness in weaving!
Tuesday 24 September, 7pm (social time), 7:30pm (meeting start time)
Congregational Church of Harvard

To kick off our “Zero Waste” theme this year, members will share ideas about what to do with thrums, scraps of leftover cloth, and DIY tools for easier warping and weaving. Bring your own ideas and any show and tell to this social meeting.

2024-25 Guild Challenge: Reuse something in a woven piece and/or find a way to interpret “zero waste”. Find a way to use something that would otherwise be thrown away. Yarn from Reba is available to facilitate this challenge. Start thinking now so it will be ready for our potluck in June!
