CWG Yarn and Equipment Sale

Join us the last full weekend of September in beautiful Cleveland Heights Ohio for the

2021 Cuyahoga Weavers Guild

“Dead Weavers Sale”

Friday, Saturday and Sunday

September 24, 25 and 26

9am to 4pm

No early birds please.

Driveway for loading and unloading only!

2980 Washington Blvd. 44118

This is our last sale from this location

Combining the curiosity of 7 fiber working women, this is the last stash of weavers that the craft has lost. It will be an epic sale of the century. We have looms, spinning wheels, tools and equipment, yarn, books and magazines concerning weaving, spinning, knitting and crochet, needlework and quilting, leather, lace and felting. These artistic souls studied all forms and facets of fiber, and what they left behind needs new hands and new homes. Prices are so low, it’ll definitely be worth the drive from anywhere.

Fall newsletter deadline is approaching—September 1

By Leave a Comment

Eeek, September 1 gives very short notice. So, let’s extend the deadline to September 5.  Please send newsletter materials, especially items of summer doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG year.

No doubt that photos of your projects, a new technique or yarn you are trying,  or a weaving reference book you have discovered will be welcome. Or even an essay about your weaving adventures, discoveries, or compatriots. Perhaps a quandary that you would like help with. And don’t forget news of our upcoming sale.

In earlier discussions about the foibles of our weaving work might fit into a new column based on Penelope’s weaving tactics——you know, the part where she weaves and unweaves.  We all have stories about our version so please send yours.

Memories and stories of Jean Jackson are plentiful. Let’s share some for this newsletter issue.

Contribute directly to Nancy or to newsletter@cuyahogaweaversguild.com

After April’s Study Group, there are some new changes. The answers still need work.

You might have received this via emaildodo last week which was a total fail.  Please disregard that one.

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
