[SCA-BMDL] Fiber guild meeting tomorrow at 7 pm!

[Dina Ternullo]

Greetings!

This is a reminder that the BMDL fiber guild will have the next meeting tomorrow, on Tuesday, November 14th at 7PM, at Songbird Artistry, 4316 Penn Ave. in Lawrenceville.

This month we will be doing spinning with a distaff and a spindle. Spindles and wool will be provided, and some distaffs will also be available. Please bring a stick to use as a distaff, about 4-5 feet long. it can be a dowel, a stick from the park, skiing pole, a tiki torch. Possiblility are endless. 

Spinning with a distaff is fun, portable, productive, and (bonus points!) you look super medieval doing it. Even if you're using a bright blue plastic broom handle. 

For more information, please check out really cool blog by Cathelina Di Alessandri , 15th century spinning, https://15thcenturyspinning.wordpress.com/, with video links. 

and Mistress Rhiannon's (Lois Swales) Missing Spindle webpages, which has links to her spinning videos.

Of course, you don't have to spin, and are welcome to bring your projects.

Tea and snacks will be happening, as always.

(Drinking tea is encouraged but not mandatory. Please contact me about any dietary restrictions.)
