Less than three weeks to sign up for Supplemental Warp Weaving with Marie MacDonald at the Gaelic College:

Supplemental Warp - April 11, 10:00 - 3:00
Instructor: Marie MacDonald
$40 + materials

A supplemental warp is an extra warp that weaves in, on top, or below the background warp. This is a decorative weaving technique that allows freedom in design and colour. Participants in the workshop will assist in winding a warp on a loom, threading and sleying the reed, and will weave samples in a round-robin fashion.

    My name is Janet Dawson and I am addicted to fibre.  

    There doesn't appear to be a 12 step program for fibre recovery, so I figure I may as well throw myself over the precipice and drag as many others down with me as I possibly can.  

    Wanna come?
