However I'd love to see workshops and presentations that target different skill levels. I'm mostly a knitter, but would be really interested in trying out things like spinning, weaving and dyeing with a big outlay.
I'd also be really interested in presentations on different fibre characteristics and how they impact different projects and uses as well as ethical and environmental impacts.

Question for those that know about #weaving
I bought this colorful ball of sock yarn at a needlecraft fair recently. I'd planned knitting socks, but know I'm thining about weaving with it.
I have 100 g / 420 m. The yarn has long stretches of each color (visible at the left edge of the ball band). I thought about using it as warp and using black yarn as weft to get a lengthwise striped scarf. I have a cone of super thin merino.

Ronnie later describes the difficulty in getting the men of the Weavers interested in including songs about women, including Hay Una Mujer Desaparacida, in her autobiography published shortly before her death in 2016.

The #SantaBarbaraFiberArtsGuild did an in-person meet up this past
weekend. It was 4 hours of positivity and fiber. I got to spend time with Natural Dyers, #Spinners, #knitters, #crocheters, #weavers
I would, however, like to see the demographics of the group expand a bit and need to figure out how to do that.

With #November being #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth i want to talk a bit about my paternal grandmother. She passed on when my dad was a teen - she had #cancer, a byproduct of the uranium mining happening on #navajo at the time.
Her name before she married was At’ééd Yazhi, she was later given the name Grace. Both my grandmother’s were master Navajo rug #weavers. A talent I’m trying to learn. I often look at this photo of Grace on horseback - and it gives me the determination I need to keep going.
