SUMMARY:November Meeting 2022
DESCRIPTION:Have-a-Go Day: Tapestry Weaving with Amanda Henriques \n \nAmanda will bring ready warped up frames for you to use. The warps will be fairly narrow but long\, so that each one could be used by two people\, (in turn!).\nThere will be capacity for about 20 people to have a go\, in 2 sessions\, and the possibility of taking the frame home to finish the piece if you’d like to.\nAmanda will bring some yarn suitable for weft\, in various colours. \nWhat you could bring: \nSome yarn for weft. This does not have to be wool. Almost anything can be used. The warps will be set at 8 epi so it needs to be very roughly DK or Aran weight\, but lighter yarns could be doubled up. Commercial knitting yarns are not ideal as they tend to be rather soft; handspuns are better. \nBring an old dinner fork if you have one\, for beating the weft down. Amanda will have a few. \nDo bring your own tapestry frame if you wish to. Amanda will bring some cotton warping yarn if you would like help to warp up the frame. \nYou could also bring an idea of what you’d like to weave!  Amanda recommends a simple idea or pattern if this is your first try.

SUMMARY:November Workshop 2023
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Woolen Preparation and Longdraw Spinning with James Perry aka Longdraw James \nJames will cover the basis of a woollen yarn and will discuss differences between these and worsted yarns. He will then discuss carding technique before discussing the longdraw spinning technique itself. We will spin from rolags and a couple of other preparations and fibres before looking into plying\, discussing how much Ply twist is enough. Finally we will look at finishing woollen yarns. \nExperience level needed: ideally attendees need to be able to consistently spin and ply. They don’t need to be super experienced or experts\, beginner is fine\, but it need to be able to comfortably spin and ply yarn.

SUMMARY:October Meeting 2024
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Textiles and Clothing in London 1150-1450 with Frances Pritchard  \nAmong the most evocative items to be discovered by archaeologists are the scraps of silk and wool and other fabrics that signal so eloquently their owner’s status and concerns. Such clothing and textile finds have figured prominently in excavations of medieval sites in London; they have included knitting\, tapestries\, silk hair-nets and elaborately patterned oriental\, Islamic and Italian fabrics\, which reveal for the first time the wide range of cloths available to medieval Londoners; there are beautifully made buttons\, and buttonholes and edgings which display superb craftsmanship and a high level of needlework skills; the way that clothes were cut and sewn can be studied in detail. This account should be of wide general interest; dress historians and archaeologists will also find a wealth of new insights into the fashions\, clothing and textile industries of medieval England and Europe. \nFrances Pritchard is Curator (Textiles) at the Whitworth Art Gallery\, University of Manchester. \nPlus all the usuals – Show & Tell\, Sales Table\, and afternoon cake.
