Don’t miss these fun fiber happenings!
Great Basin Fiber Arts Fair
Great Basin Fiber Arts Fair is our local festival. It happens once a year, usually in April or May.
Wool Trek to Notlwonk Springs
The next Wool Trek will be on May 3, 2025.
Dye Exchange
Every year the guild holds a dye exchange for members. The theme is different every year. This year the dye exchange will be on May 20th, 2025. Please dye about 1.5 pounds of fiber, then divide it into 1 oz portions. Label it with your name, the dye method and color. At the meeting we share our experience and how we dyed the fiber. Then we go around the circle and get a bundle of fiber from the other participants. It feels like trick or treating for adults!
Retreat
Every year the Wasatch Woolpack Handspinners hold a retreat where we spin, make friends, connect with friends we haven’t seen for a while, eat good food, get prizes, relax and spin some more. We are planning on having a retreat summer 2025 but don’t have a date set yet. Watch for information about next year’s retreat.
