Welcome to the Oakville Handweavers and Spinners Guild Blog. We started in 1952 and since then we have taken part in many local community activities. Members of our Guild demonstrate spinning or weaving at historical sites throughout Oakville; we network with Guilds in surrounding areas by means of workshops and seminars; we participate with other local Guilds in textile exhibitions and provide individual and group instruction in weaving and spinning.

New Weaving Project
Here is Friedl, the former Treasurer of our Guild. She has recently assumed new responsibilities as Spinning Chair for the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners. After a number of years of mastering the drop spindle and the spinning wheel, she has now started her adventure in weaving. She has a floor loom in her house and decided it was time to be put to good use - - so she did. Here she is showing her first woven project. The individual place mats still need to be cut, washed and finished at the edges. Congratulations, Friedl!
