Study Group Information - Current and Past Group Information

For several years, Reno Fiber Guild has had a year long study about some aspect of fiber art.  In order to preserve all of the work that has gone into these studies, separate files are now available. (see the description and links below).

Current Study Group Information  7/23/2025

Our current study group is all about double weave.  4,8 and more shafts.  The goal is to get our weavers thinking about double weave and expose them to the weaving literature, software assistance and online resources about double weave.  We will be using the guild's study io group as a means of communication and file sharing.

 

Here is a link to our current resource list https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L57BDeo8UdvIFGqLjgy9LVYJq9j9pP5a/view?usp=sharing 

If you are a member of a CNCH guild, you may join our current study group.  Please contact Beryl at renofiberguild@cnch.org for additional information.

Blast from the Past - Reno Fiber Guild studied Surface Interest:  Textiles of Today by Harriet Tidball in 2000-2001.  There is a binder in the guild library from this study group that contains many lovely woven samples, threads used and finishing instructions.  In honor of the guild's 50th Anniversary, a new document has been added to our resources with color drafts showing thread thickness for most of the interlacements in the book.  Click on the link below to download the PDF file.  This file may be used for your own personal use, but may not be sold or altered.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qqMOaFKQXmGhkQJPiVdLAaqtfSYjVzkq/view?usp=sharing
