Welcome to the
Duneland Weavers' Guild home page!


Our guild was established in 1948 as an Indiana not-for-profit organization. It has been the starting point and gathering point for many whose interest is in traditional or contemporary weaving and other fiber arts, whether they are beginners or experienced.


Come join us: Our meetings are open to the public. We encourage not-yet weavers and non-weavers as well as weavers to come participate in our programs.

The Guild meets September through May.  Check this web site for our 2010-2011 calendar in August.
Have a great summer!


Photos from our February Weaver's Poker
(Thanks for the photos, Margaret and Tina!)

Here are the weavers, their "poker hands" and their projects.  Each weaver was given 5 cards.  One could be discarded.
Have a look at the creative and attractive ways these weavers played their hands!

Sue's "hand" was summer and winter weave, thick and thin yarns, purple color (which she discarded), cotton yarn, and pillow/afghan/rug.  Here she is with her summer and winter afghan.

Tina's "hand" was rep weave, textured, green color, cotton yarn (she discarded a clothing card).  A sample area of her rep weave yardage is shown below.

Manda's "hand" was plain weave, smooth texture, red (which she modified to burgundy), tencel and table linen.  Below is a photo of Manda with her tencel table runner.

Virginia's "hand" was twill, textured, blue, wool and wall hanging.  Here is Virginia with her wall hanging that was inspired by blue spring flowers.
