- Bring your Inkle or Card Weaving loom and projects in progress, or materials to start on a new project.
- If you don't have your own equipment, we'll have a couple of looms
that folks can play with during the workshop.
- If you have a pattern you'd like to try, but want help working or
warping it, bring it along!
- Bring projects you've completed to share with us, bring ideas and
techniques that you want to share or learn.
- New weavers are welcome ... If you've seen folks weaving and want to
try it yourself, now's your chance!
- Interested in being part of the playday, but not interested in weaving today ... then bring whatever project you want to work on and keep us company!
- We'll all work together to weave, learn, and have fun!
- There is no cost for the playday activities, but when we hold the playdays at SCA events there is an event site fee to defray the hosting groups's cost of renting the park.
A Little Bit of Playday History
In January 2006 I held an Inkle weaving playday. It was so much fun and so well received that more followed. Baroness Bridget Lucia MacKenzie brought card weaving to that first meeting, and has been a long time Playday cohort!
In January 2007 Baroness Therese of the White Griffin, Baroness Luighseach nic Lochlainn, Senora Madelena Hidalgo de Valencia, and THL Courtney of the White Meadow joined our merry band. We expanded the Playday schedule for 2007, more Playdays, and more held at (SCA Event).
In 2008 our merry band has grown as has our scope. Our new members are: THL Morin Muir, Lady Ysoude de Rochester, THL Sean Micheal Padraig of Sheep Haven, Baroness Flavia Beatrice Carmigniani, Lady Catharine Hawkwod da Barbiano, and Catriona.
In 2009 we're changed our name from "Weaving Playday" to the more inclusive "Fiber PlayDay" and we've been expanding to include Kumihimo, Lucet, Lacemaking, Fingerloop Braiding, Spinning and more.
