Cabin Fever Fiber Night

Hi all and Happy New Year!

Now that the mad rush of the holidays is over it's time to get down to some serious FUN fiber crafting. Join the Fiber Guild for an evening of crafting and relaxing at the Snow Hill Library on Monday, January 12 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Bring whatever you're working on, a light snack to share, and some fiber to trade (if you wish).

As the year begins, it's also time for dues, which are $10 for voting members ($5 for children/non-voting members). What do dues get you? Discounts at guild events and some local retailers offer a discount as well. Membership cards will be available at the Cabin Fever Fiber Night.

Hope to see you there!

Louet S15 For Sale

Louet S 15 spinning wheel $300
This is a used S15 spinning wheel that spins fine and is in very good used condition.
There is a small nick and scratch on the back that won’t even show in the photo and does not affect the performance of the wheel.
I highly recommend Louet as it is a sturdy and awesome wheel for beginners, as well as advanced spinners. I have tried many wheels and don’t want to part with it but need the money and…I do have another one.
Again the wheel is in good shape and comes with 3 bobbins and attatched lazy kate and a niddy noddy for winding your spun yarn.

Just in time for Christmas!
