Becoming a member of the guild provides you with several benefits. Explore the tabs below to learn more about the benefits.

Make Fiber Friends We are a friendly community of fiber artists and enthusiasts. Make new fiber friends to create with, learn from, or share your skills with in person and virtually. Special Interest Groups Join as many special interest groups (SIGs) as you’d like to grow as a fiber artist with others in the community. Learn more about SIGs. Member Meetings Regular member meetings can be educational and social. Mentorship Be a mentor or mentee through SIGs or one-on-one mentoring (when available). |

Guild Library Leverage our library and borrow books to learn new skills, explore new patterns, and create fiber arts. Equipment Library / Rental Rent a piece of equipment to work on a project. Perhaps you want to learn if you like the craft before investing in your own equipment or you have a specialty project and need temporary use of an item. We have looms, spinning wheels, and other fiber tools available for rent.

Outreach Volunteer with us at outreach events to reach the broader community and help grow the guild, teach the general public (including kids!) about fiber arts. These events are always a blast to support. In 2024, we’ve been working with the zoo to process, spin, and weave their Alpaca fiber. |
