The Guild's April meeting had members creating ply split mats:

For anyone coming to the April meeting and taking part in the workshop on the 25th, you will need to bring with you 2 or 3 colours of Aran knitting wool or rug or carpet yarn (this is 20% nylon 80% wool ). About 100-200grams will be plenty , in colours that work well together. I have some rug yarn if you are short.

You also need a notebook and pen , tape measure , scissors , a large tapestry needle and 1 inch Sellotape (25mm), (matt sellotape doesn't stick so well

March Meeting

In the morning guild members were treated to a talk by Magie Relph on indigo dyeing with an opportunity to look at and be inspired by some beautiful examples.

The afternoon workshop saw members preparing and dyeing their own fabrics in the indigo bath.
