Selkirk Weavers’ Guild
sponsored a workshop on
creating novelty and tex-

lege on the weekend of Oct.
18 and 19.

Twenty participants
brought spinning wheels of
all sorts to the -workshop,
which was instructed by Ted
Carson of Streetsville, Ont.
Carson is respected by fibre

craftsmen throughout North |

America for his thorough
knowledge of. sheep,, fibre
and handspinning tech-.
niques. - -

This workshop dealt pri-

marily with the blending of”

fibres_and colors during the.
carding process, and with
spinner-controlled special ef-
fects, such as the making of
slubs, boucles, and doubling

or plying of yarns in various
ways.
At the end of two days,”
handspinners went home
with plenty of sample yarns
illustrating all the new tech-
niques they'd learned; and
with plenty of new ideas for

. future projects.

The guild’s annual ex-
hibit and sale, at the Castle-
gar and District Community
Complex, promises to offer
more ‘and better fibre cre-

ations than ever. The display .

will be open for viewing on
Friday evening from 7 until

this time; but individual
weavers can be consulted re-
