EGLFC 2025 1With many thanks to our Fiber Angels, we met our fund-raising goal of $6,000 which has reduced

our fees for 2025. Additionally, we are grateful to the MidAtlantic Fiber Association for their

generous grant of $3,200. Thank you all! Unlike many other fiber conferences, our conference fee

includes workshops, lodging, meals and all special events!

It’s all part of a terrific time, and it only happens once every two years!

Registration begins April 1st online.

This announcement was sent to Bob. Doesn’t it sound interesting?  And might you be willing to share any of the equipment they are seeking?

I am writing as one of the organizers of Braids. 2025, Rocking Braids & Bands which will be held in Cleveland, OH, USA from June 15 – 21, 2025. These International Braid Conferences have been held every three years beginning in Japan in  2010, followed by England in  2013, Tacoma, WA in 2016, Japan in  2019, Denmark in 2022, and now Cleveland, OH in 2025.

Classes will be offered that uses a variety of equipment including:

• Ayatakadai
• Takadai
• Marudai
• Inkle Looms
• Tablet Weaving Looms.

Since conference attendees come from all over the world, and some of this equipment is heavy/bulky, we are working to have equipment for attendees to rent if they need it. Sally Vourlojianis of the Western Reserve Spinning and Weaving Guild gave me your name as the contact person for the Cuyahoga Weavers Guild. I’m wondering if you would pass this information on to your members. I’d like to know if any of your members have any of the equipment listed above that they would be willing to loan to the Braids 2025 committee for this conference. If so, they can contact me directly and let me know what equipment they are willing to loan or with questions about the conference.

I’m also hoping that some of your members will consider attending the conference. Go to braids2025.com for more information about the conference.

Thank you for your help with this.
