In our Studio

Open Studio Times

"Open Studio"   describes times when everyone is welcome to work on a project in the studio, use the library, socialize or just come in and look around! We ensure we have some members available to answer questions.

You will see Guild members working on a variety of personal projects and sharing knowledge, information and encouragement.  Our door is OPEN and we welcome visitors during these times.  We are happy to share our enthusiasm for fibre creations and provide information about our Guild, workshops and membership benefits.

Generally, we have Open Studio on Thursdays (10:00 am - 2:00 pm).  We are also offering Open Studio on some Sunday afternoons (when there is no workshop scheduled). Confirm Open Studio times by checking our calendar.

When there are workshops or study groups taking place, we ask that you plan your visit for another time.

Soon there will be a colourful lap blanket project set up on the 100 inch loom which you will easily see through the window. There will be 480 threads wound, individually threaded, sleyed and tied on for weaving wool lap blankets.

What is happening beyond our studio?

  Sunday Spetember 21, 2025 KHWS members closed out summer by heading outside with spinning wheels and knitting needles.  Visitors were surprised by how soft the prepared fibre was and enjoyed watching the blend of blues and greens spun into a textured yarn.  Three members started knitting the vest pieces as soon as there was enough solid colour for the ribbing. Spinners continued to spin  and provide yarn for the knitters.Spinning for a vest outside the TettHandspun yarns ready for knittingMeasuring the vest as we spin and knitFinished vest with buttons
