Tunis sheep

Monthly year-round: a sit and spin, program, and short business meeting.

Every other year: an auction and sale of members' used equipment and surplus handspinning, knitting, weaving, and dyeing supplies.

January: a two-day retreat, held at the usual location over a weekend.  A challenge is offered to members to spin a bag of fiber into yarn according to a given theme and return the results at the May meeting.

April: a demonstration of the process of turning a sheep's fleece into a handspun, naturally-dyed, handwoven scarf at Meadow Farm museum.

At various times:

  •  a dye workshop (natural or synthetic)
  •  a full-day or multi-day handspinning workshop (dependent on minimum
  •   enrollment)
  •  demonstrations of handspinning yarn for the public at farmers' markets,
  • ​  festivals, and museums
  •  trunk shows by handspinning suppliers
  •  beginner drop spindle lessons
