April 2016 Meeting

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on March 29, 2016 by webadminMarch 29, 2016

The program  for the April 2 meeting will be a non-standard sock knitting technique:

We will be making Flatlander Socks. They are called that because they are knit flat on 2 needles. Please bring your sock yarn, size 2 or 3 knitting needles and scissors to cut your yarn if needed. The pattern, as written, is knit with size 3 needles fit a size 9 woman’s shoe size generously. If you have a smaller foot you will probably want to use the size 2 needles. You should know how to knit and purl.

Remember – if you are not interested in this month’s program, we still want to see you!  Feel free to bring any portable project to work on, or just come for social time and for any business that needs to be addressed. See you there!

Meeting location is at WSU in the McKnight building (see directions below)
Officer Meeting @ 9:00am
Social Time @ 9:30am
Meeting & Program begins @ 10:00am

Directions: Exit off of Hillside onto Alumni Drive. The McKnight building is the second building on your right. Enter the north wing (around the curve of the street) through the brown double doors that face Hillside. Parking is available in the lot across the street from the McKnight Building.

HLA Fiber Mill Tour

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on March 11, 2016 by webadminMarch 11, 2016

Last week, our meeting was a field trip – to HLA Fiber Mill east of Augusta, Kansas!

Owners John and Sara Morris graciously hosted our tour of their small and efficient facility, showing us the many steps of processing fiber from fleece (wool, alpaca, whatever!) to finished product.
