The Guild has a large, active membership with a mission of promoting spinning, dyeing and fiber-related crafts by educating and inspiring fiber artists. To that end, we meet five times a year, with a fiber program at each meeting. Some of the programs are run by members and some of our presenters are well known fiber artists, including in the past Rita Buchanan, Celia Quinn, Alden Amos, and Sharon Costello. We also sponsor occasional workshops. Many of our members are available to demonstrate or teach spinning, as well as other fiber arts.

Membership in the Guild is open to all with an interest in spinning yarn. Don’t know how to spin? Come join us and someone will be happy to help you learn. Guests are welcome. Membership costs $20 per year, and runs from July 1 to June 30. Membership benefits include a newsletter published 5 times a year, use of the Guild library, full access to the website, and advance notice of workshops sponsored by the guild. Guest fee is $20 for guest speaker programs, $5 if the program does not feature a guest speaker (such as our February meetings).

We meet at Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield, CT on the first Saturday of October, December, February, April and June. Meetings start promptly 9:30 am and continue until mid-afternoon. At each meeting, we have an assortment of vendors should you need to enhance your stash or equipment.

Bring a bag lunch and a cup for coffee or tea, your spinning wheel or knitting if you don’t yet have a wheel, and join us for a fun day!
