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.

Colourful member!
Here you see Merilee!
This is our las meeting of the Year, sonce some of our Members are planning to enjoy this Winter Break away from our Town.
This of course did not stop us to get together and show some of the works our members are creating, like this part cape that Merilee brought to show. I just love all her bright and colourful designs she always has on her. This time she shared with us this interesting shape:
a square in the centre and then from there on you just go around and around. Isnt it great and fun???
Friedl, one of our Great Spinners of the Guild shared with us an interesting ready dyed yarn creating a self pattern for socks!
She is preparing to fly to Australia, to visit her son and new members of the Family, but she is already getting prepared to bring beautiful hand made wonders for her loved ones.
Congratulations ladies!
