Newsletter Steptember 17th 2015

Welcome to the West Alabama Fiber Guild Newsletter

Free Llama Fleece on Sunday!
 
Next meeting:  Sunday, September 20, 2015, 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Location: 1000 28th Avenue, Tuscaloosa
Topic:  Llama Share Meeting  **Note the earlier start time.**
Details from Tori on the Llama share:
Recently Deanna made contact with a lady who raised show llamas and gave her a great amount of fleece. Carol has seen the fleece, and she and Deanna are planning a llama share.
The fleeces range in age from 1 to 15 years old and high to poor quality. Everyone interested in the fleece will draw a number and be given the opportunity to choose a bag of fleece depending on what number is drawn. We will do this until all the fleece has been claimed. Contact Carol if you have any questions.
 

Upcoming workshop:

Lucet cord making, led by Lynn Higginbotham, October 4, 2015
Supplies needed:  
  • Lucet (available locally at Hobby Lobby - don't forget your 40% off coupon).  
  • A firm, smooth yarn that will slide easily, anything from fingering to worsted weight, any color. Variegated is fine.  100% cotton, such as dishcloth cotton, is good. 
For more information, please contact Lynn.
If you don't have a lucet, a fork with the middle tines bent or removed can also be used.


Kentuck Festival of the Arts:  Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and 18, 2015

Everyone should demonstrate some skill or assist those who are demonstrating. Carol has list of those participating and what they will demonstrate.  We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate the sales table.  If you have any questions about Kentuck, please contact Carol.
