Berkshire Guild of Spinners, Weavers& Dyers

Welcome to the website of the Berkshire Guild of Spinners, Weavers & Dyers, which aims to give key information to all of those interested in our core skills. It is updated on a regular basis with details of courses, events, demonstrations and workshops.

This wonderful jumper was knitted by one of our members using a 'patchwork knitting' technique - a great way to use up those odds and ends of yarn and to create a unique and stunning garment at the same time!

18th February: Designing Handwoven Cloth for Garments

Weaving cloth for an item of clothing is always a challenge. This talk by reknowned weaver, Wendy Morris, aims to take the mystery out of the process

The hall is open from 11:30 am for those who want to spin, weave, chat etc. before the afternoon talk begins. Visitors are very welcome.
