A collective of weavers, knitters, crocheters, spinners, and more
The Gainesville Handweavers Guild meets on the fourth Saturday of each month at 10:30 am. We welcome fiber artists of all skill levels. In addition to our monthly meetings, we offer special programming and workshops throughout the year. For more information, check out our calendar!
February: Unconventional Warping
Our program will be warping and weaving on unconventional items. Bring something from home to warp and something for weft. We’ll provide some plain cotton warp and various yarns for weft but bring other items you’d like to use or share. See the programs page of our website for some photos of weaving on unconventional items!
Saturday, February 28, 2026 – 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
