The Seattle Weavers’ Guild Annual Sale offers an opportunity for the greater Seattle community to experience over 3,500 original textiles and purchase unique handwoven items from local weavers, some of whom have practiced the timeless art of weaving for more than 30 years.

The sale will showcase one-of-a-kind handcrafted items, including towels, rugs, blankets, tapestries, exquisite jewelry, accessories for pets, children’s items, handmade cards, household goods, hats, bags, wall art, jackets, scarves, wraps, sculptural baskets, liturgical weaving, handspun and/or hand-dyed yarns along with weaving and spinning tools.

We invite you to join us at our Annual Sale to see the work of our hands and hearts as we follow the thread of this ancient craft. There will also be demonstrations of spinning, weaving and other fiber crafts during the sale.

Forwarded from Barbara Bitetto:

The Olympia Weavers Guild was invited to demonstrate weaving and related textile skills during Nordic Heritage Day at the Sons of Norway Lodge in Lacey, WA. The demonstration included tapestry, inkle and tablet weaving looms, books and discussion of historical production and uses of textiles. There was also an ongoing demonstration of drop-spinning prepared flax fiber into linen yarn, complete with a distaff tucked into a belt.
Here is a video prepared by the organizers, showing all of the different displays and demonstrations during the day.
