2020 has been an unprecedented year and something that brought forward challenges for almost all of us. So many people couldn`t see their loved ones, spent days in isolation and many more challenges but most importantly, people came together when it meant the most. It won`t be entirely wrong to say that the year 2020 has been a trying year in many different ways. So from our guild to your guild and to all who follow us on our blog, we wish you all a healthy, Happy New Year for 2021.
The Shuswap Spinners and Weavers Guild is an organization of almost 60 members dedicated to supporting those involved in the fibre arts community locally and promoting these creative skills in the larger community. All members of the larger fibre arts community are welcome - spinners, weavers, fetlers, fibre producers, knitters and those who crochet. It is a very eclectic group with a history of service in the Shuswap region.

A post by Louise Smith, one of our guild members. Her Facebook page is "Lady Weaving in the Woods". She says ... I have completed this Ruana for an order. 100% Alpaca natural grays and choc brown with some pale gray overdyed teal and dark gray for the plaid. Washed and fulled which results in a soft, warm garment. Two long rectangles were woven and then handstitched 36" up the back matching the plaids. Stitched my design label at the inside back neckline to reinforce the back seam. 4 shaft twill. 56" across width of back and 72" plus 3" fringes in total length. Knee length on a 5'6" person. Ready for winter chills with this ruana.
