The Clatops Weavers & Spinners Group has a contingent of spinners who get together most every Thursday evening at the historic Shelburne Inn. We’re happy to have people watch or give spinning a “spin”! Drop by and say hi to us, try your hand at either a spinning wheel or drop spindle, or just watch in awe.

April 21 2009. Joy Winther of Kalama (a past member of the Clatsop Weavers and Spinners Guild) put on a wonderful program showing us how to make jewelry out of thrums (leftover warp). For this class we first made a Kumihimo braid.
Thanks to my friends Sue and Ruth for these great photos taken while they were on vacation in Florida!

March 17, 2007 Our program was Kumihimo Braiding. Very simple, but you can create gorgeous “braids”. We will be using these in our jewelry making class in April. Thanks to Jill Benish for putting together the program. The Clatsop Weavers and Spinners Guild meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Washingto. The spinners in our group get together the 1st Tuesday and every Thursday to spin. Contact me for more info! |  |
Clatsop Weavers and Spinners Guild is a great group of women (but men are welcome too) who are interested in weaving, spinning, knitting and furthering these crafts in our community. The guild meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month, usually at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco. Spinners get together the 1st Tuesday of the month, either in Ocean Park or Astoria and also most Thursday evenings at the Shelburne Inn, Seaview. Contact me for more info! 360-244-2660 or email me! See our photo gallery as it grows.
In 2007, our illustrious leader, Marty Lemke, travelled to the Cook Islands and returned with a beautiful postcard for each member. There was a catch though. We wrote our names on the cards and then they were drawn by other members. The challenge: to make some fiber-related item based on the theme of the card and present it to the owner of the card at the Christmas Party. What a wonderful time we had and it was fascinating to see the finished projects. All were beautiful, all were very different.
