PGHW fosters the fine craft of fiber arts through education and the exchange of ideas. It offers ample space for meetings, workshops and classes.

The Philadelphia Guild of Handweavers is a non-profit organization whose mission is to foster the art and craft of weaving and the fiber arts. We were organized in 1952 through the efforts of Joseph Acton, Bret Carberry, Ruth Dewees, Marion Lord, Helen Schobinger and Kathryn Wellman. In 1992, Russ Fawley, owner of Wilde Yarns, deeded the property at 3705 Main Street, Philadelphia, PA to the Guild.

From “Woven in Wool” at the Burke Museum, Seattle: There were two looms in the exhibit, dramatically different from each other. This older Cowichan one is from before 1950.
