We occasionally have guest vendors attend. This month's program will be presented by our special guest Maggie Casey. Topic: Yarn Characteristics Why do some of our projects exceed our expectations and others leave us flat? Of course amazing design skills account for the successes, but what about the others? And what happens when a garment looks incredible the first few times we wear it and then loses its appeal? It might be your choice of fiber or the way the yarn was spun and plied. We all know that wool felts, cotton is soft and silk is smooth and lustrous but that is only a small part of the picture. Some yarns drape beautifully, some stretch, some pill and some itch. Often we can adapt our design to compensate for a yarn’s shortcomings. Whether you are a spinner, knitter or weaver, knowing a little about a yarn’s properties will increase your chances of success.

Our demonstrations consist of members showing spinning on spindles or spinning wheels, and may include hands-on instruction. Many events are free to the public.

We are fortunate to have many fiber arts events in the Greater Los Angeles area throughout the year. GLASG often has a booth or demonstration onsite at these events, and if not, many of our members are in attendance.
