Dye Day 2023
Hello CWG
Here’s an update on the CWG Dye Day planned for Thursday August 17th. Please RSVP to robert.breitzmann@gmail.com if you plan to attend.
We will start at 10AM and dye till 3PM. Come when you can and leave when you must. I’ve got the dyes, but bring your own fiber or purchase a blank to play with for $.50 each. I will be showing how I paint a warp. Bring a brown bag lunch if you like. If it rains we will set up in the garage and adapt as needed.
All the natural dyes except Indigo require a mordant. If you have soda ash at home, please soak your fibers overnight beforehand. If not, you can put everything to soak when you arrive. The fiber reactive dyes will have the mordant already added. All of the natural dyes will work on protein or cellulose fibers but mordants may change for the black walnut.
I learned a lot last year and hope several changes will improve our results.
This year we will have the following natural dye pots:
Black Walnut for a nice brown.
Indigo for blue.
Cochineal for blue/red.
Madder makes orange/red.
Logwood for light purple.
Pomegranate to make green/yellow.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend.

Leslie has a question about EGLFC
Chautauqua Institution
I’m going are you?
It’s hard for me to fly with a loom so I signed up for Felting with Renate Wade Moskowitz who supposibly fantastic! The problem is that so far only 3 people have enrolled so I hey might cancel the class. Would any of you be interested? CWG has had a good showing at EGLFC in the past because it’s a smaller conference, only a 2 1/2 hour drive, always at Chautauqua Institution, and always in October over Columbus Day weekend. I’d love to see all of you and my long term Chautauqua friends. Whaddayousay?
Leslie

Epic Sale of the Century
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 23rd, 24th and 25th
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.
