SKAGIT VALLEY WEAVERS' GUILD

UPCOMING PROGRAMS

FEBRUARY 7, 2026
SUSAN TORNTORE
in person
 At long last, we will be doing a program on 
FIBER  TESTING

Susan will guide us through testing different fibers by examining them under magnification, by burning as well as with vinegar, bleach and acetone.
Bring those unidenified fibers and figure out what they are!  This will be a hands on program!
Please bring the following: • Cookie sheet or pie tin for work surface protection • Small spray bottle of water • A pair of tweezers • Small scissors • Clear tape for mounting samples on worksheet • Pencil • SAMPLES of known & unknown fibers/yarns you want to test (~5”long)—please tag known fibers • Small hand lens or magnifying glass.
If you don't have all these just remember that mystery fiber!! 


But wait!  There's more!
Nancy Deitch will be presenting information on Breed Studies.
We will get an understanding of why it matters what kind of wool we are spinning or weaving!

Hand Made Cloth--Exploring Ritual
This focuses on my many years
doing commission weaving.  The  program includes a lot about color, folding
it into a larger discussion about how color and pattern work together to
support a concept for a finished handwoven cloth.
