Birchblanket Workshops From fleece to fabulous...
Get set up for success in the fibre arts! Workshops in-house or at yours, in small-group workshops, semi-private or one-on-one.

Learn to knit, spin, felt and play with humour and ease in workshops designed to build your skills. With Birchblanket Workshops, dedicated fibre arts instructor Kathleen believes everyone - yes, you! - can easily learn the skills and confidence to pursue the projects you want to work on. Each workshop is a two-hour timeblock designed to give you the instruction you need to complete the skill-build

ing project - and each project has application to a larger project (i.e., a small knitted cupwarmer will teach you skills for a hat or shawl or sweater). Larger projects will have two or more timeblocks. Workshops are delivered in three ways:

Small workshops: instructor-led hands-on instruction to groups of 3-6, over 2 hours. Most workshops have supplies included (except needles) for the project. Specific in-house workshops are anchored in the calendar. Other workshops can be booked with 3+ person interest, or off-site wherever you like! Semi-private workshops: instructor-led hands-on instruction to two people - since often it can be more fun and encouraging to learn with a buddy. Supplies for the project can be included,

Private hourly lessons: One-on-one instruction and knitting guidance designed to transfer knowledge and skill-building in techniques, at your pace. Lots of value add to a private knitting guide...tips, tricks and wisdom all included.

Profitable!

The bronze statue in St. John's marks the centenary of NONIA, which has had knitting at its core since 1920.

WOW! Some seriously awesome innovation. I've long said I could insulate my house with wool and textiles...Looks like now we can, and we don't need to disturb our curated stash to do so! :)

This just in! Wow - and it's a 'new' luxury fibre from lotus plants. This one's worth the watch. Happy day to you!

Post found at Fibre Artists and Handspinners Group here on Facebook. I've been following the news of this emerging, and it's pretty amazing. String, to knots and loops, to fabric...amazing leaps we have made.

Now on the East Coast, this amazing yarn is a fabulous go-to. And they are keeping the business strong, relevant and local. Heroes!
Briggs & Little Woolen Mills Ltd.

Located in York Mills, N.B., the mill started in 1857 and changed ownership and names over the years. In 1916, the business became Briggs and Little Woolen Mills Ltd., making it Canada's oldest continuously-operating woollen mill.

Despite our initial misgivings, it is always amazing what a couple balls of yarn and a bit of determination can do!!

A shout out to Hector at Zapotec Native Art Weavers of Oaxaca, who knows his stuff and was very kind in sharing geographical info about what sorts of textiles hail from what parts of Mexico, and from which indigenous peoples.

Today was a textile-rich day in Sayulita, Mexico. Learned macrame knot work (guess what new workshop is coming...😉) from the amazing Eva with Evoke The Spirit gallery and studio. So worth the time. Because we *are* worth it!

Sending this out too (courtesy of the share from my pal Mary Kay Stamopoulis), since this is an awesome reminder that there's something special about knitters and fibre artists that we pretty much invented our own social media! http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2011/07/a_tightknit_community.html

The best social network you've (probably) never heard of is one-five-hundredth the size of Facebook. It has no video chat feature, it doesn't let you c ...
