Tuesday Night Textilers (TNT) 7pm-9pm
Join us on Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 9pm as we natter over knitting or chat over crochet – or do you fancy a bit of felting? Weaving, spinning – it’s all happening.
Forgotten how to read a pattern? What’s the difference between yarn over and double crochet? I’d like to use my mother’s spinning wheel – can you help? How do you weave? What is felting? Where can I get supplies, information, tuition? Can I just sit and knit…or crochet…or bring my needlework? Absolutely!
The Guild offers a quiet and friendly atmosphere at The Textile Arts Centre, 25 Poronui Street, Mt Eden for these weekly gatherings. They are also free and you even get a cuppa!
All welcome – but for non-Guild members a small donation is appreciated.
New weekend groups
This year sees two new weekend groups starting for people who work weekdays.
Sunday Spinners – study group: 1st Sunday in the month 9:30am-12:30pm at the Guild rooms.
Improve your hand spinning, share knowledge and resources and experiment with new techniques exploring a different theme each month.
Weekend Weavers: 4th Sunday in the month 9:30am-12:30pm at the Guild rooms.
Bring your table/shaft/rigid heddle/inkle or pin loom for a morning of weaving. Use our extensive magazine and book library to plan your next project and dive into our yarn room stash.
