HEART OF TEXAS SPINNERS AND WEAVERS GUILD

The Heart of Texas Spinners and Weavers guild is open to anyone interested in fiberarts including: spinning, weaving, knitting, tatting, dyeing, crocheting, needlepoint, etc. You do not have to know how to do any of this, but have a genuine interest in pursuing learning some of these age old crafts.

The guild was formed in 1991 by a now defunct spinning and weaving shop. Members are mostly from the Greater Waco area, but membership is not limited to any particular geographical location.

We hold 2 meetings a month, 1st Thursdays 7-9PM at the RB Hoover Library Waco, TX. 3rd Mondays- 7-?PM at the Books-A-Million at the new Central Marketplace off Hwy 6 and I-35 in Waco. All meetings are subject to change of venue. The best way to keep up with all the current info is to subscribe to our mail list at:
