Winter Season!


As winter solstice approaches we start to plan for projects to keep us busy till spring!


Our weather has been a little quirky with snow, rain and warmer weather than expected. It is perfect weather to get to that carding, spinning and knitting or weaving.

Our members continue to follow restrictions with conditions and exceptions. We can congregate in larger groups outside while maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask when this isn’t possible. If we congregate inside in public venues, proof of vaccination and ID are necessary as well as social distancing, contact tracing and wearing a mask.


At this time, our meetings are dependent of conditions and restrictions. We are starting to make tentative plans to participate in more activities next year. Some of our regular venues have booked tentative dates for the summer. It will be wonderful to be able to once again share our craft with everyone. We will add dates as they become available to us here on our events page.


Our monthly meetings will hopefully continue in the new year with provincial guidelines. In the meantime we are enjoying spinning indoors, at home by the fireplace.


We wish you a wonderful start to the winter season!
