News

Patricia Bishop gave us an excellent presentation on her business Taproot Fibre Labs. She has been doing an incredible amount of work connecting a variety of people involved in the flax/linen trade. I highly recommend watching the video of her presentation

Also don't forget the big stash sale planned for our April 13 meeting. Bring your yarns, fibres, books, magazines, and spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet and basket weaving tools in your studio that no longer give you joy or spark creativity


Upcoming events

To advertise on our site, follow this link.

The Atlantic Spinners and Handweavers (ASH) was established by a group of local weavers in 1970 and provides the opportunity for weavers, spinners and dyers living in the Halifax area and beyond, to meet in a social atmosphere, to exchange information, learn new techniques and methods and share their interests.

We meet on the second Saturday of the month at Scott Manor House, 15 Fort Sackville Road, Bedford 9:30 - 11:30am. In June we share food and socialize at a potluck at a members home. Our Hands On meetings and Fibre Days are also held at Scott Manor House.

      Visitors and new members are always welcome!
