Lost Skill On Rebound Members of McHenry county Fibers and Wheels Spinning guild examining materials used In projects are left, Barbara Lesak of Crystal Lake and Pat Christian of Woodstock, secretary-treasurer. "Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?" The black sheep may or may not have wool, but the McHenry county Fibers and Wheels Spinning guild does have. Organized in 1975 by local spinner Bet ty Pulver , the members still spin monthly. This group is actively reviving an ancient skill and having lots of enjoyment doing so. If one knows how to spin, or is a beginner, they are welcome in this group. Sharing knowledge comes high on their list of priorities. They get excited about learning a new technique or some new sources of wool. Keeping the craft of spinning alive is important to them. Also important is the promotion of considering hand spun knitted or woven articles as objects of art, highly individualized and with creativity behind the project. Programs that the spinners have had include natural dyeing of wool, spinning with different fibers such as dog hair, camel, mohair (goat), buffalo, silk, linen, and cotton. Still other programs have in­ cluded weaving or otherwise making the yarn into a func- tionable item to be worn or used. Tours have been held usually in connection with spinning or weaving. Members have at­ tended spin-ins, constructed spinning wheels and have exchanges with other groups doing the same thing. It's important to know where the raw material comes from so members have witnessed sheep being sheared. Fibers and Wheels maintains correspondence with a sister spinning guild at Swan Hill in Victoria. Australia. - The relationship between spinner and weaver is unique. It takes seven spinners to keep one weaver busy. McHenry County's Spinning Guild is sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension service located in Woodstock. The local guild displays a love of spinning, a desire to continue its regrowth and the willingness to add others to its list of members. The local group would also help to organize other spinning clubs if would be members can't make it to Woodstock for meetings. A guild is any number of people coming together to spin, to teach, to learn and to share. It can be of any size, the only prerequisite being the love of fibers and working with the hands. This group will help any school, church or community group that would like a demonstration program on spinning. For information, contact Mrs. Albert C. (Pat) Christian of Woodstock.
