Shelly is selling a baby wolf

By Leave a Comment

I have a Schacht Baby Wolf for sale. It is 6 years old. I bought it new from Schacht in May, 2016. I paid $3000 for it with taxes. It is not my main loom so I’ve only used it about twice a year with no more than 5 yard warps on it each time. It has a trapper keeper and is a high shaft loom. It has a light with it.

 It has never been out of my house since delivery and only been moved around one room twice.
The loom is located in Youngstown and you are welcome to come see it.   I am asking $2000 or best offer for it.  Please call me at 330-788-2999 and leave a phone number.

Spring Newsletter Addendum

By Leave a Comment

The newsletter is 14 pages.  Please select pages 1 – 14 if printing.  Your editor did not delete the blank pages 15 – 17.
This was not included with Joan’s article:
Hi – I’m Joan Horwich, the daughter of Rose Rubin, who was very active in this guild for many years.  I began weaving when my mother was 89 years old and had parted with the majority of her looms, equipment, and fiber.  I am still a beginning weaver and learning quite a bit from Jane Stafford’s on line course.  Through this, I am exploring a number of 4 shaft weave structures.  I now own  four floor looms,  a rigid heddle loom and an inkle loom and  am  interested in pursuing spinning.
I can’t wait to see all of you in person.
Joan

June news

There will be no June meeting. Elfriede wishes everyone a healthy summer and we hope to get together in September. Details for the autumn plans will come out in August.

The nominating committee (Victoria, Lynne and Elfriede) are putting together a slate of officers before then.

Call Elfriede with questions.

Joan has been hard at work. Surprised?
