The March 25th guild meeting was well attended. There was a Stash Dash table with fiber arts items to take for a donation to the guild, a selection of books and videos to check out from the guild’s library, a preview of silent auction items, a wonderful presentation by Siobhan Harlakenden on The Viking Age Vararfeldur, and even home baked cookies!
We learned the history and technique to make Viking Age cloth that resembles a sheep’s pelt. Using yarn and wool locks, Siobhan demonstrated how she weaves this warm, flexible cloth. Our own Meredith modeled the cloak she made with a luxurious Vararfeldur collar woven in one of Siobhan’s classes.
If you are interested in taking one of Siobhan's classes in Vararfeldur or other Viking Age techniques, email her at manekeyneko@gmail.com. Most classes are held at Meridian Jacobs in Vacaville.
