The Guild nurtures the fibre crafts of spinning and weaving, and encourage other crafts such as felting, dyeing, knitting, crocheting where fibres can be used.
Meetings include demonstrations and hands on activities, as well as problem solving in the many facets of the use of fibres. (e.g. reading patterns)
The Guild also maintains a library of books and magazines covering information on Spinning and Weaving and other related subjects. Equipment pieces from wheels to looms and smaller items, are also available for hire by members.
