We are a community of fibre enthusiasts drawing members from the Wellington County area.
The guild hosts presentations on weaving and spinning topics from September to June each year. We have both in-person and Zoom meetings at least once per month with two meetings in October, November, April, and May. These are evening meetings on the 2nd Wednesday and additional ones on the 4th Wednesday of the month. In September, December and June we have joint meetings, usually in person, to say hello, celebrate the season, and say goodbye. Several study groups focused on weaving, spinning, knitting, and dyeing also meet monthly, usually via Zoom. We have an extensive library, tools and equipment available for rent. The Guild hosts Fall Fibres, an annual show and sale of the work of its members, the first weekend of November at the Wellington County Museum and Archives. Yearly membership dues are $80. You are welcome to come to a meeting or two as a guest. Please let us know if you plan to attend. Our in person meetings are held at Kortright Presbyterian Church 55 Devere Drive, Guelph Ontario N1G 2T3 |

Guests are welcome to attend one or two in-person meetings before registering. Other aspects of the guild are restricted to registered members. October 14, 2026
In-person at the church Kortright Presbyterian Church 55 Dever Drive All spinners are invited to bring their spinning wheel and some fibre (25 to 50g or so) with them to the October 14th in-person meeting. As spinners and wheels arrive, folks will set their wheels up with other wheels of the same brand. Those wheels that spinners are willing to allow others to try will be clearly labeled. We will begin the program by briefly introducing each wheel/brand to the group and spinners will share their spinning observations and knowledge (pros and cons). Then spinners will get the opportunity to circulate and try spinning on the wheels available for test driving/spinning. While this program will focus primarily on spinning wheels, if you would like to bring a spindle and/or e-wheel, you are welcome to do so. This is a great, hands-on opportunity to learn more about how various spinning wheels work and to try spinning on a variety of wheels! Everyone is welcome to attend whether you have a wheel or not. October 28, 2026 Zoom Weaving Deborah Silver, split-shed weaving https://www.deborahsilverstudio.com/ Deborah Silver will discuss the split-shed weaving process, a selvedge-to-selvedge weaving technique that allows weavers to create imagery in multiple 4-shaft structures. She will also show how she has applied the technique to her artwork, and talk about her creative process. Can’t make it that evening? The meeting will be recorded and available afterward to all registered guild members (we will provide the link in the November newsletter). If you know someone outside the guild who would enjoy the program, please invite them along! Non-members can purchase a ticket for $10 -through our website here.
