Spinning wheels were in evidence

Selkirk Weavers’ Guild sponsored a workshop on creating novelty and tex- tured yarns at Selkirk Col- 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 9. No sales will be made at this time; but individual weavers can be consulted re- garding special orders. ~

- On Nov. 29, the sale begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. -
