Books, yarn, equipment or anything else a weaver would need or like are all welcome.
What to know:
Starts at 10AM on Saturday the 12th of July 2025.
Bring your items and we will have marked tables to set them on. (Cottons, equipment, etc.) As soon as things are on the tables we will start.
Guild members only. If you are a new weaver, this is the prefect time to pick up needed equipment and yarn even if you don’t have much to share.
Bring drinks and snacks, plus bags to take home your treasures.
If you have items to pass on and cannot be there, you may drop off your stuff at the barn before the 12th. Contact Rosemary to make arrangements. Everyone else bring your items on Saturday.
And Rosemary says to reminds everyone…It is HOT in July in Atascadero, so dress accordingly.
