OUR NEXT MEETING

September 26th at 7:30 PM

at the Winslow Center.

PROGRAM: "Mini Workshop on Drafting" with Susie Hodges
Susie will cover the uses and wheel adjustments for three drafting
methods. Bring your wheel and appropriate fiber. The "Short Draw" can be used with any fiber preparation. The "Long Draw" works well with medium length wool in a woolen preparation like sliver or rolags. "Double Drafting" is used for short fibers like cotton and downs. Susie will bring cotton roving for those who wish to try this more advanced method.

THANKS to everyone who came to the August meeting and helped to set up ideas for the coming year. Lots of interesting and fun suggestions will now try to be finalized and scheduled in. Much more on that later. Remember, if you come accross a good speaker, or hear talk of one, bring it up at one of the meetings. Keep thinking about what you would like to see demonstrated or talked about at one of our meetings.
