Kente
Cloth
The African strip woven
cloth known as Kente is a
beautiful richly designed textile with a Jazz-like sensibility. Kente is
traditionally used as clothing for both men and women of high rank and collected
in museums and private collections around the world. Come see how this amazing
cloth is made.
Multicolor
Spinning Exchange at the January meeting
Remember to bring in your
spun yarn for the next leg of our multicolor spinning exchange. We will put the
4 or so ounces of spun yarn back in the grab bag and pull out some handspun yarn
to work with in any way our imaginations take us. Have the final project ready
to return to the fibers original owner in May. Snow date for the exchange is the
February 10th meeting (second Wednesday of
February).
Fiber

meetings
A large amount of fiber
and fiber related books has been donated by the estate of Ruth Mills of
Milford, MA. We will be drawing numbers to pick from
among this generous donation to our members.
